Hey everone,

I am looking for a roof rack for my 04 Avalanche 2500 but I dont want to lose the my sunroof view, does anyone have any recommendations?

I am also looking for winch mounts and winches that fits, can anyone help?:)

Its has body cladding if anyone wonders:)
 
Welcome to the website. I think almost any roof rack for a 1500 or 2500 AV or Cadillac EXT will fit without blocking the sunroof.
The older threads dealing with mods have discussed winches and mounts so spending some time doing a word search and reading them may help you.
 
The roof rack on my EXT does not block the sunroof.

Not even close.

Some have reported some wind noise and solved that by moving the front crossbar rearward.

I have never found that to be a problem and my crossbars are full forward and full rearward.
 
I use square bar Thule racks attached to the Av rails- I‘ve permanently removed the factory “bars”. My bars came off a Volvo P3 XC70. No blockage of the sunroof.
 
I am looking at getting a Go Rhino SRM400 roof rack, has anyone had any luck of mounting one?;)

I don't recall anyone mentioning that one before. Any of the stock racks off of any first Gen avalanche will work along with the Burb and Hoe racks as MS03 mentioned. I'd say check around salvage yards but it appears you're in Norway so I don't know the situation there. Last tidbit of almost useless info, The 2500 was only made from '02 to '06 and only came with the cladding.

Welcome to the site.
 
CountyLanche, I have a question... do you have the factory rails on your truck?
I just bought a OEM rack from a wreck and would like to update the cross bars. You said the Thule bars from a Volvo XC70 will work?
Any style? I see they offer the aero or square bars

Yes, correct. I have the OEM roof rails. But check the length of the Thule bars- the ones that came off the Volvo are the correct length for my rig. I used the square bars because… cheap and available 😂😂😂
