Popup Camper Yakima Rack Install

tom brought in his 2009 chevy silverado that he just had equipped with a brand spankin’ new, super, d-luxe popup camper.  he recently replaced a tundra pickup with this new truck and was excited to get it outfitted with some racks and cargo boxes. 
the manufacturer of the camper shell had already installed lengthwise tracks along the roof of the popup so it was pretty easy for us to go ahead and install some yakima control towers and landing pad 1′s with a 78″ crossbar to make the base rack system a “go” on the roof.
we decided to install a couple of yakima sky box 12′s on top, so we wouldn’t interfere with the venting that was installed on the roof.  at the front of the roof is a long solar panel that we wanted to make sure didn’t get blocked by the cargo boxes.  at the same time, we wanted the boxes a little further forward on the roof so that tom had room to climb up and work up there.
before he left, we took a couple of cheap yoga mats and cut them to contour the inside of the cargo boxes.  that’s a great solution for creating some padding in the cargo box.
overall, this install turned out really nice, and he was really happy with the outcome – and yes he did get his $30 rebate form!!! 

here are a couple of pictures of the final job…
