Has anyone tried putting a tahoe roof rack (shortened of course) on a silverado? I was tinking I would like a rack but hate the ones that clamp onto the door openings because all the ones I have had made wind noise. Also the factory racks mount lower then the aftermarket ones. Also, can some with a tahoe tell me how they mount to the roof? ie sheetmetal screws or threaded inserts or whatever? any other ideas?
How long are they? Because I can put a few 2x4's in the bed (either hanging over the tail gate, or I let the tailgate down and bungie them.) And not have any problems. I'm just telling you this, because poking holes in the roof is not a good idea IMO. Plus i don't think it will look good either. But you can do it. Edit: Forgot, around here people don't steal things Like that. If they will fit in the bed, with the gate closed, Get a tonneau cover I think.
they sell racks for top of trucks. ive seen them on Trucks with stacy david before. you could do a tahoe rack but would need to reinforce the roof. the racks i seen i think go thru the doors....but that is a good idea.
There are companies that make rails that go on the bed that you can mount bike racks or ski racks or whatever to. That would be a much better way to go. I'll see if I can find some links. I think some even integrate them into a retractable bed cover too.
