Has anyone found a removable roof rack system for a 2008 crew cab frontier? I need to cary a 20 ft. kayak and I have a hitch mounted rear crossbar but I need something for over the cab? I do not have the factory roof rack system. Please help. John

I bought a track system from Yakima that bolts to roof without removing head liner (plusnut system).  I have not installed it yet, I hit a deer and my truck in in the shop till next week. I am having trouble finding fit info. from Yakima for a drilling template so I am not sure if it will work or not.  If it does it will be the perfect removable rack system, low profile tracks that you can adjust placement of or remove load bar towers.  I have a 17' canoe to haul.

Yes, I bought a track system too but I decided not to drill holes into the roof. The yakima tracks require about 8 nholes per track on a 42" track and I just couldn't see putting 16 holes into a brand new roof. I have some yakima towers if you are interested in buying them from me. They will need additional hardware to make them work on the tracks, however. Let me know if interested for your system...JT
