  • Recommended Roof Rack Solution for 2000 GMC Safari with Naked Roof
  • I have a solution for you to to add a roof rack system to a 2000 GMC Safari, but there is not a way to add raised side rails to the roof.

This will install tracks on the roof that can then be used to add a roof rack...

Both locks are sold separately from the cargo carrier. You will need a 2 inch receiver to carry this cargo carrier on your 1999 GMC Safari. If you do not have a receiver, I recommend the...
