Yeah. I felt terrible. I honestly debated not including that in the video, but I wanted to be real... and warn people to be careful. Using a unibit to drill most of the holes makes it much safer... then finishing with a regular bit.

Thanks for the video. After watching the install will probably dish out the cash and take it to a body shop if I go with this rack. Have them drop the headliner, spray the drip rail, seal, corrosion protection. Thats going to up the cost for sure...... Like a roof rack for lightweight stuff such as traction board, shovel, and awning. Not doing a bed rack or RTT.

About to do a custom rack install on a buddy's 1500. He provided an old rack and I fabbed some aluminum rails to rivnut into the drip rail and then bolt the rack to so it can be removed easily if he wants. Will post a couple photos on my Instagram account. Thanks for the vid. Was already planning on using a step bit, but was nice to know the sheet metal might be thicker in some spots than others. I think some Chevys use harder steel and I foresee drilling and waterproofing to be the biggest challenges.

No light bar. Chris already has off road lights and didn't want more. Difference is there's a cutout for the light bar if you choose that option.
