i had a yak rack on my first car - a 1990 buick skylark. i've still got all the components and would only need to get new towers and maybe a wider fairing. i never trimmed the bars down because i liked the fact that i could fit four bikes on it when necessary.

you are right about yakima stuff - the quality is first class. do you know if the tracks will fit directly into the rain grooves on the roof, or are they too wide? i haven't yet measured the width of the grooves or scoped out the width of the tracks. if i had a cap, the tracks would be a no-brainer. and i am leaning heavily toward the tracks on the roof of the cab. and let's face it, the yak racks with the fairings just look tight.

i think i remember reading about taking care with the side curtain airbags - it might have been on your install post john - but i won't have that problem as i don't have the tip-top LE with the rear side-curtain airbags. would there be any other landmines waiting for me if i were to drill into my roof?
