I have a hunch the previous owner had an aftermarket rack on it. I see 6 holes on one side, and I know the factory rack is held on by only 5 torx bit screws per side. That last hole (one closest to front of truck) looks a smidge bigger than the factory rack thread holes. I'm interested in what you uncover. Keep us updated.

Turns out taking out silicone was super easy, took about 10 seconds per thread with a box cutter..

the install went smoothly and got to use the basket on a 400mile trip to north florida where we packed the crap out of the car 1000lbs+

Operatoin roof rack/basket successful.

thanks yall.
