Most reg cab racks are either in the back window or behind the seat and I know you aren't about to loose that sub behind the seat....lol

And one last shot of this thread with a couple of rifles neatly tucked away, about 1 1/2" above the window line, out of sight...

Two end brackets with about eight holes in them for mounting in just about any position, they include eight 1 3/4" self tappers (four for each side) and since the rack telescopes, you basically just need to pull down the headliner enough to peek for a piece of steel to mount to.

My buddies '98 Cheby has a double roof so his was a snap. Some trucks have crossbeams for support every foot or so. Not so with the Ram, the only cross beam is in the center where the dome light is. But there is a boxed channel runs all along the outside edge of the roof, right inside and above the top molding of the doors, so it was easy just to pop the screws through the headliner and catch good steel there with no worries about going through the roof...

Damn straight lol, that 12" thumper isn't going anywhere. Plus I'm short enough I doubt it would affect me at all, my passengers might not like to too much though.
