'Hacked' Thule TracRac SR for Maverick (with cantilever)

[MrMoustache]

Got it installed!

This is the TracRac TracOne with 5.5" cut off the height and 10" cut off the crossbars. Height is set to match a roof rack that's not installed. Got it for about $300 open box off Amazon. The roof rack was $220. It flexes pretty bad so I am going to try to stiffen it up with some wood inside of it which is why it's not on the truck. Not sure if I'm going to leave the roof rack on all the time yet.

Here's a pic of how the plastic supports got crushed when I first installed it

And all of the plastic supports removed with a chisel

And my PVC filler

It did compress a little in the install but not too bad. If anyone does this, make sure you put something soft under the trim piece when you are removing the supports. The first one I did got scratched up pretty good.

Great Work!

Here's mine all painted up. Not a bad $450 bucks spent, all in.
