sounds good, i think ill just pop them off when i drop the headliner - having the roof resprayed so theyll have to come off anyway.

is there a factory plug for the holes? or should i just ask the paint guys to tack the holes shut and call it a day? haha

 

That looks like a Brownchurch on your truck. I had one of those for about seven years on my '85 RRC. I loved the rack but the noise was something else. Thankfully, I didn't have a sunroof on that truck.

 

I don't know of any factory plugs for the holes but the rack is easy to remove. There's just one 13mm nut with washers at each end.

 

on second thought, i may leave the holes but plug them with rubber in case i ever want to route lamp wiring to the roof through them...
we'll see how i feel after the headliner is dropped.

 

Yep. It is a Brownchurch. I love it. Use it regularly and plan on putting a RTT on there eventually. With some minor modification, ie some removeable crossbars. I want the flexibility to either have the RTT or the whole rack for expedition purposes.

Only problem, just like everything from england it loves rusting out.
Logic would dictate that a vehicle that comes from england with so much rain would be rather weatherproofed.

 

I prefer the SD rack.
Still more wind noise than I would like, but livable.

 

I have DI owners manuals for '96 and '97 model years. I also have one for a '99 DII. All come with the neat green leather binder.

They're $30 shipped anywhere in the continental US.

 

I can understand why when it comes to the DI but on the RRC, the Brownchurch looks great.
