I gotta respect the effort though, I took the easy ($$) way out and bought a Yakima rack that attaches to the inside of the doors.
Well as I said we only pulled down one side of the headliner and found the cross members and marked them. Yes the 2x4 was in fact used for just that reason to not drill Thur the headliner. We tried to get this done as easy and quickly as possible. That was the reason for only removing half the headliner , still had to build and install rock sliders as well , so getting it done quick was the key to getting the sliders and roof rack done in one day. I was going to do a wright up about the sliders as well but man some guys picked apart the attempt to do this so I'm hesitant to do that one.
