I like it, it's SOLID. Powder coat is weak sauce, but love the looks and it will be very functional for our needs.

Renting a CVT roof top next month to try it out and see if the RTT is our style. :D

So, it rests on the rubber in the drain channel or it has a spreader that locks it into the drain channel?

Will do.

I adjusted it to rest there, however it doesn't need to. The front deflector ties in both rails and it becomes very rigid. It's pouring rain but I'll do my best with pics today.
 
It may be too early to tell, but how would you compare the utility of the crossbars and trays to the nearest competitive rack from Prinsu? I was set on the Prinsu, but I like the idea of not drilling.

I've never seen a prinsu or messed with one in person. I liked their rack as well, but like you I didn't want to drill. I think the prinsu will have a lot more modularity to it as you can put the rails however you want them. If you need and want infinite adjustability I don't think you find it anywhere but in the prinsu.

This offers quite a few options that will work for all my wants and needs. I'm going to buy another cross bar (which can be flipped to be raised up above the rail lines too) so I can mount a CVT Mt Denali RTT which requires three cross bars. Hope that helps!
 
I picked this one so I wouldn't have to drill either. I see this rack with lots of configurations and / or modifications. It will take drilling extra holes and making some different crossbars, but I like having the ability to make changes without it clamping to a round tube. I plan on getting some aluminum extrusion to fab some additional crossbars. The aluminum will be strong and lighter, and when its all said and done, I can buy one stick and make two or three bars for less cost.

Great idea, I'm excited to see how you do it, please share when you do!
 
Ecotechne Roof Rack Question

A few more pics. FYI! I don't have the other cross bar on here (short on hardware).

Great photos, thanks for posting this thread. IMO The roof rack lines really flow nicely with these vehicles. What length M8 1.25 bolts do you use to fasten this rack to the roof? 35mm, 40mm, 45mm or?

If you make it through San Antonio, let me know. I would love to check this thing out in person.

I am still on the fence if I want to go full-length rack. My T-Force (N-Fab) rack has served me well, but I haven't pushed it to its limits (yet).

Thanks for pics! Looking forward to hearing about mounting the RTT to it..

On another note..that avatar is freaking me out...

This is the first I've seen of this rack. It looks great on your truck! Are you willing to post how much it cost?

And as always, more pics!
