I though gutter mount would be more secure? And the clamp mount style would move more?

I didn't word that very well, I meant the clamp on style to the gutter move around but the ones that fix in to the strip in the roof are a lot better

Once you pull off the rubber strip all your left with is a roof channel... Fitting my rails involved drilling holes in the roof and riveting the rails into the channel. Solid as a rock

Yeah that's what I heard but wasn't sure about. So what rails did you use? Rhino ones? Are they the full length of the channel? Or just where the racks mount?
And how difficult was it, did you just use standard rivets/rivet gun, did you rust proof the holes after drilling them? Are the holes sealed somehow or is water liable to seep in where the rivets are?
Thanks mate, good info!

Me a favor? I'm currently building my canopy and am putting roof racks on it, I would
Like to make them the same length as cab mounted ones so if/ when I get some for
The cab they roughly line up and also a height from the roof to The top of the bar.
Thanks in advance!
