Roof Rack
Just a question to you guys out there that have the 'factory' Xterra roof rack. I was interested in getting that new Calmini deal for my truck but I have an "aftermarket" (like the Jeep Ckerokee) roof rack. Are there threaded bolt-holes on the roof, or are they just screwed to the roof supports?

they are bolted to the existing roofrack, I think is what you are asking. The only one available that will bolt TO the roof itself, AFAIK, is the Calmini. I think they are redesigning the front to have a bend to better match the lines of the Xterra.
I am having a custom rack done... which bolts to the place where the stock rack bolts, thus, eliminating the stock rack from the equation. Matt

Roof Rack
I guess I put it the wrong way, I have one of those cheapo plastic slider racks, not one of those high-speed Kargomaster ones. I just wanted to know if the Calmini rack muonted in the same holes as the Nissan aluminum rack.

yes, it uses the original roofrack holes.

no drill needed. but do get the best T shaped massive Torx driver you can. the bolts that hold the roofrack down are heavily coated woth Lock Tite. and I ended up having to drill one out. the Torx wouldn't remove it, stripped the threads, and all 4 torx we tried wouldn't remove it either. go find a big T shaped one for 15.00 from a good hardware store. trust me, it's worth it.
You've been down that road... you know where it leads....
