Da roof rack

I am teeter-tottering on whether or not I want to remove the roof rack from my 05 TB EXT. I did it on my Jimmy and I preferred the cleaner overall look without the rack. The thing is, the wife and I are talking about getting three or four kayaks for the ocean and the many waterways around us (either one for each member of the family or two singles and a double). So I am torn between keeping the roof rack to mount the kayaks to or deleting the roof rack and just getting a small utility trailer to haul them with. Opinions? Inputs? Experiences? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?



Bueller?

These trucks do look better rackless IMHO. I even had my EXT deracked, which required actual body work to remove the front humps, which are on EXT only. I'm planning on deracking my LS. Probably will just remove them and put some set screws in with sealer or teflon tape. This gives me the option to put them back on if needed.

But, if you plan on using them on a regular basis, maybe leave them on? Or put them on when needed?

I left the rack on mine. Didn't want the car look.

That gives me some pause. I am not ready to do any body work right now, so I guess I will leave them be for now.

Thanks.
