I'd like to install a 1995-2001 Expo roof rack on my truck. My question is since my truck is a 2011, i have the satelite radio antenna on the roof as well. Will this pose as a problem? and for those who mounted the expo roof rack did you have to shorten it for it to fit or the stock size will bolt right up? thanks in advance.

you will have to disassemble it and cut the rails then reassemble it. heres the how to for it http://www.rangerforum.net/f35/how-explorer-roof-rack-mod-2429/. im not sure about the antenna mount since i havent done one and im not sure where it is.
self tapping screws with rubber washers and some sealant stuff should make it nice. This project really should only take 30 mins
If I were going to put the roof rack on, Which I hope I do, It will be drilled then use a nut and bolt to secure it to the roof, so I would remove the headliner cause I would want the roof rack to be useable and not start to pull out by just using self tappers whenyou have a few suitcases or luggage strapped to it.
