Hi all,
I've got a 2000 Tacoma with a camper set up in the bed, and a Snugtop camper shell. I'd like to put a roof rack on it to carry skis, but the shell doesn't have rails for putting a rack on, and I'm a bit leery of drilling holes in it for rivet nuts or similar, and thereby compromising the waterproofing of the shell. Has anyone done this, and have thoughts on sealing the holes off? Or a clever alternative that I haven't thought of that doesn't require drilling? I did some searching, but didn't find a ton.
I'm not looking to carry a lot of weight, for what that's worth. I've seen the metal frame ladder racks that sit on top of the bed rail and run outside of the shell, which would work, but I'd prefer something cheaper if possible, and those seem like overkill from a weight perspective.
