I am going to put a ORU roof rack on my crew cab.
In the past, on a Toyota, I installed one of their racks directly on my roof with their 4 point mounting kit. I had to drill 8 1/2 holes. Once installed the rack could not be removed or you would have 8 big holes to cover or if you left the mounts you would have 4 large "door hinge looking" mounts on top of your truck.
ORU makes a rack for an Avalanche with the factory roof rails. This way I think I could remove the rack and leave the ok looking rails on my truck when I did not need the rack. Has anyone done this? Is it easy and straight forward. Is the roof of the Avalanche the same size and shape as a crew cab? Will my cab lights be in the way? Anyone know the GM part number? The $? Thanks, I'll get photos up as soon as I get it done.
