Roof rack question

Yep extension included!
here's a link
Word to the wise though,
I put spray expanding foam (Great Stuff) inside every opening during assembly
then I lightly sanded it down, primed it, and gave it a spray bed liner paint job.
I did all this because I read a bunch of reviews that said it rusted inside and leaked rusty water all over their shiny new jeeps haha,

Definitely give me a second
Ok so there are 5 toggle switches,
I used the "garage door opener" overhead compartment
Removed the garage door opener button setup on the inside of the compartment door
Cut a piece of aluminum diamond plate and covered the compartment door
Drilled the holes for the switches
1st switch is flush mounts in front
2nd is lightbar
3rd is left side
4th is right side
5th is rear
1st switch is flush mounts in front
2nd is lightbar
3rd is left side
4th is right side
5th is rear

Roof Rack
This was on top of my truck before the accident
Just speaking from experience but nothing will keep that roof rack on your truck in an accident. Nothing bad about the roof rack itself I owned 2 of them(still have one) the other one that was on my 07 Suburban got stolen from the accident site.
Now that I have had 2 accidents with roof racks involved and seen how they brake off the stock rails I will be installing then a little different. This is merely for the safety of others, had the roof rack from my Suburban hit someone with a 90lb spare tire attached to it
after my truck hit a tree at about 30-35mph .. I'm sure they would be seriously injured or worse. I was looking into something simple like a centered eyebolt and a cable locked to it, safety and security all in one.
