How much? I'd be interested in one. Can it be done without the mesh inside, and instead just have a couple cross bars instead?

Yeah they look good! Now you gotta make it so the cab brake lights and cargo lights can shone thru... Are they steel or Aluminum? I'm looking to save weight...

Yes, you can message him, it just won't be a PM until he gets his post count up a bit. I sent him a message.

That's the one I was looking at...but I haven't seen any good pics of the high pro?? I still want the use of my cargo lights,,, Also was looking at the center cut out... Although this one doesn't look bad... How much does it block rearview??

I fell with the rack in place, the obstruction of viewing the rear through the rear view mirror is minimal. In addition, I have the outside mirrors, backup sensors and a backup camera to assist.

I believe they have customer installation pictures on their website that display all of their racks!

None are really that good... The ones you posted are way better... Are the lights enclosed in the back or just left open?

Yes I have. I went with the low to keep my overall clearance lower since I adding bed lights and the amber warning light. I wanted the overall height of the referenced lights to be as low as possible, yet just above the cab roof level. These racks are very nice for adding lights and antennas. Just use a bolt and the rack slot and you can mount just about anything without having to drill any holes.

How is vision with full bars vs cut out? Does it hinder you in anyway?
