Question - have a 2007 Z71 Tahoe - want to do the Escalade roof rack conversion - do I have to get one from a 07/08 or can I use one from an earlier year model? I realize that the body styles changed with the 2007 model but wondering if those who has done this and what they have used? TIA

I'm pretty sure you have to use the 07-08 model year rack. Reason being, the vehicle's overall size changed after the previous years and the bolt holes are now in different places. I plan on doing the same conversion. I like the Esky rack better. The only drawback is that I'm going to no longer be able to mount my bicycle rack to the roof rack, whici is actually a plus because the 07 model sits higher than my 00 did and it's harder for my old a$$ to climb up there now. I'll have to settle for a hitch bike rack so that I can have the better looking roof rack.
