JH64 Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 Got a 2014 f150 supercrew I need a roof rack for my rods my last truck I had my friend who owns a body shop directly mount bars and that was a great solution now i have a different truck and want to mount them without drilling my roof . Looking at the Rhino bars but don't know if there's anything you guys are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTramcar Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 I use a pair of Thule ski racks. They work great and carry 6 poles, maybe more. It even held the clam rake securely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowEnd Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 Been having this debate for two years. Rhino makes one to fit my truck. No drill great, potential leaks at door gap not so much. Leaning towards a Surco Rack drill mounted to the roof at this point. Was also contemplating a headache rack for the bed as I have a Tri fold cover. A bunch more money and still need a second cross bar to mount a rod holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfrat59 Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 Don't be afraid to drill the roof on your pickup for solid mount no clamp on rack. Properly installed and sealed riv nuts are bulletproof...can make different crossbars that easily interchange, rod racks, kayak, general luggage rack.

Rails are 1in square aluminum 4ft lengths from home depot, cut to length and drill for mount points...the square vinyl end caps finish off rough edges nicely.
