Buy some yakima gutter mounts or any kind of gutter mounts and then build or buy a basket.
(Not my truck but I want that paint job)

thats a sweet *** truck, only reason i haven't made a roof rack top priority is i dont think it would look amazing on a super cab.

It is a sweet *** truck. And he rattle canned the camo on for $60. I think a roof rack would look fine on your truck.

No he's on the org and I asked him and he said it cost him about $60 in spray paint and lots of masking tape he also said it took him and his wife 14 hours to paint it.

i looked into the bronco carrier too, but i just dont like it.
to me it gets in the way to much. backing up into a space, everytime you own the tail gate.then it swings all the way around. i had a bronco and it annoyed the **** out of me when i had that lol. but yeah its a cool idea.

the only options i was thinking is making the on bed carrier for the tire. but i want a toold box there so having a tool box and tires i lose all the space. so i figured buy a tool box and make the roof rack.
