Roof Mounted Gun Rack

Anybody know if the roof is single or double walled? Or have a picture of the interior roof with the headliner removed.

It is single, and I think all the braces are on the rim but I didn't get a picture and don't remeber so there might be one or two that run across in the middle. They're pretty much all the same, truck vs runner, unless you have a roof window.

I'd say single walled.. It's about the thickness/strength of the doors and fenders, so I'd assume it's single walled. The only two walled I know of are the "support bars" that line the cab.

Sounds reasonable if his back window rack and seat gun pouches are full. Plus you have to keep ammo and the pickups have small cabs.

Actually this is a good idea in canada. We hàve a law that says rifles have to be " out of sight" when the owner is not with the vehicle. The roof would be perfect if you did it the correct way. I am very interested in what the op has planned

IMO theres is not nearly enough head room for any kind of gun rack up there. I am not a tall guy, and I couldnt imagine putting one on my ceiling. Thats all.

yeah you can(should be able to) fit an ar15 up there, might need the telescoping stock. There is atleast 30inches/76cm of flat space at the roof and a good two inches or so available behind the headliner. Around 4ft between doors. (Taken from my headlienr replacement notes) I was thinking roof mounted gun safe or something mounted like a luggage rack for some reason

Hillbilly called it. All the toolbox and back seat room is taken. Need room because I go out in the woods a lot and sometimes ol' rusty needs to ride along depending on what I'm going to do. Plus I'm not losing my beer window either.

So was I at first. I considered doing this in my 89 a long time ago, but as I remember thier wasnt enough room for my deer rifle. And It seemed it would be easy to hit your noggin on it to.
