Nice, what are you going to be transporting on them?

Hilton Head? Isn't that place right next door to hell?

Looks good! I like those a lot and was going to put something like that on my F150. I changed my mind because it would no longer have fit in my garage. But I sure do think they look good!

roof racks are for station wagons!
lucky for you your truck looks so damn sweet in white with hd lights, so the racks fit right in for some reason.

out of curiosity, what are you putting up there that wouldn't fit and be easier to get at, in the bed?

I had to get it because with the short bed and a toolbox i couldnt fit my kayaks back there. Installation took about an hour and a half and was pretty easy if you follow the directions. And as far as hilton head being next to hell?? If this is what hell is like sign me up!

Hilton Head is the shiz. I spent part of my honey moon there, so maybe my perception is slightly tainted, but I still liked it.

Pic taken in front of the Ole Oyster Fanctory perhaps?


Roof rack looks good HHIFX4. I dont think it would look good on anything but a white truck.

ahh makes sense. I was thinking maybe skiis cause my snowboard fits in the back no problem.
do you drive in parking garages much? I poop every time I'm in a new one. I have a removable ladder rack that I use for work occasionally. no way I could get into the few that I do fit in without it on.

I didn't say HH was hell, only that it was next door to it.



And no...I didn't get to see much of the "Hotel Room"

I bet the kayaking there is very nice though. I can now see the reason for the racks and can't wait to see them loaded up. You've got to post pictures.
