Re: 86 Suburban daily driver

And now I'm ready to make some more new holes in the roof. This one I've had in mind for months now, but have been wrestling with the clean lines of no rack vs. the utility of having one. Utility is going to win out here, as this is my 3 season daily driver. Having the ability to haul the canoe or kayaks will be very important in the summer months.

The rack is off a 2005 suburban. I will be able to use all the Yakima accessories off my 2007 Suburban on it too. I had to narrow the cross bars 1.75", and it looks like it'll work really well. I bought M6 nutserts from McMaster Carr and the install tool, maybe this weekend after a boy scout campout I'll find time to begin the install.
