    Yes
    Yup agreed and regardless of the climate where you live you should use some sort of anti seize lube on the threads of the bolts going into the aluminum cross bars IE: copper grease.

    Periodically rubbing off the light surface rust had been a weekly chore. But haven't had any further issues after I hit them with a light coat of clear.

    Zach, I just installed that very bike fork mount. I 've been trying to come up with a rear bike wheel anchor. But haven't come up with a workable solution. Any ideas?

    I have this nifty gadget that is like a extra large rubber coated twist tie that I have been using. A quick fist, or the actual rear tire carrier sold by yakima would work too, or a ratchet strap is the caveman solution.

    Oh yes, this was just to drill the mount holes in the rack. Mine were just the basic raw unfinished sides.

    Once I've got the cross bars cut to size I'll mod the moulding to fit. Then it's off to the powder coater.

    I did. Though I had responded but I guess it didn't go through. Picked up your rack yesterday. Everything looks good. If you want to do powdercoating I can get that going by tomorrow.

    I'll send you an invoice and drop it off tomorrow. If my neighbor with the 4runner is around I will try and get you some spy pics before I drop it off.

    This has been a fun project so far! I like getting base materials and putting my own personal spin on things. It's been a little tedious as I've been hand tapping all of the holes. :eek:
    I decided to go with five crossbars on the cap Rack. I've drilled all of the holes for the crossbars by hand as well.
    It's now ready to test fit on the cap which I will do tomorrow - it got too dark. :(

    Sorry, but I'm not reading thru 40+ pages to find the answer to my question...

    What is the weight rating of your double-cab rack ?


    Thanx, John
