Default MRack Stealth Roof Rack - Any input?

I've been searching for a while for a low profile roof rack that will allow me to install a roof LED bar and also carry some kayaks. All the while still allowing me to park in my garage. I think I finally found one, but I'm not finding many reviews. Anyone out there have this? Any input?

From the pictures I could find online of our model truck, it does not appear to be any straps. I'm guessing rivots? I plan on reaching out to the maker and inquire about installation. Will report back when I hear.

I would contact the company. I'm sure they could answer all your questions.

For 800 bones it should be Much better than straps and not require drilling for rivets

Not being sarcastic, how else would it mount?

There is no way I'm going to mount this rack on my 2015 but maybe if I owned an older truck because I think it's pretty slick setup

Riveting the rack to this truck at this time in it's history is not something I want to do... a ladder rack will need to work for now
