Need help for my boyfriend's Christmas Present...Raptor Roof Rack suggestions?

Hi all, I am in a panic looking for the perfect roof rack for my boyfriend's new Raptor. I've looked at a ton of different websites that have rack's available, but all look puny. I want something "tough" looking and a bit thicker than the skinny ones I've seen so far. I may not be searching the right way and was hoping some of you would have some suggestions for me. If you know of any websites with some awesome looking racks, please send them my way! Thank you!!

Are you for real?

Check out the vendors below.
White star industries makes an awesome chase rack, or custom ones.

Also see the Christmas post from Raptorwifey for more ideas.

Where are you located?

Yep.

wait kids, she said Roof Rack?

Meesh, what does he need a rack for? We have a rack that use to put a canoe on our truck... Or there are roof mounted light bars? The ones 012Blue mentioned are for the bed of the truck to carry tires and gas and such.

I'm pretty sure there arent any racks in my Christmas thread though, so if you can explain what he would need it for then maybe we can help.

Yakima sells a decent one that can be mounted without drilling holes in the roof.

Depends on whats being racked in said rack.

Here is our Yakima with and without the canoe.

That is AWESOME! Can you point me to the pieces you bought? I've looked at their site before and I was a little confused as to what I needed and what I didn't.

Actually I'd love to see a close up of the front tie down and how, if at all, it touches the hood.

Sorry to the OP for taking over her thread. I would look at Yakima or Thule. There may be others, but those are the common names I've heard.
