now how the fuck does this work... my life in a nutshell

 

Straight trade for my 285/70/17s?

 

I think I may have accidently stumbled upon a very simple roof rack design based on an existing product. I bought some 1x2 10 series extrusions from Tnutz to build a low-profile roof rack. I was out in my garage taking some measurements and happened to look up at my overhead storage. There it was right in front of me this whole time; a simple design with two cross bars and heavy gauge wire grid as the platform.



Holds 250 (uniform) pounds, but that's likely hanging from the ceiling. In a rack configuration with stouter cross bars, I'd say it could handle 300 pounds. Way more than I plan on putting on my roof.

 

Check these out.

I've been thinking about this for years and may put one on the camper roof. Yakima or Thule used to sell a rack made from welded wire. Then I saw them at Home Depot (IIRC). The ends are turned up. I think the Yakima or Thule one had them turned up on all sides.

 

Yea, I was stuck on the car and not following where the rest was coming from lol

 

Saw those when I was researching ideas. That little edge flipped up is just enough to keep things in place.

I was thinking about getting two of these. $32. The difference between these and the Hyloft ones is the Hyloft grids are double-reinforced on the outer edge.

Understand. Easy to do. That's one bad Corolla.

 

Those are nice. Painted black too. Also heavier gauge wire. I may get the other one for the larger size. Hopefully all my crap will fit inside the camper and I won't need one.

 

is that a 2jz?

 

I plan to just put my Plano case full of recovery gear, shovel and ax, and two larger containers for sleeping bags, clothing, dry food storage, stuff like that.

 

a 2JZ is a 6 isn't it. That's a 4.

 

Even if it were 2JZ you can only have one Beyoncé.

 

joke genius

 

Don't worry about it. 1KD-FTV is all you need to be concerned with

So, where do people camp? Utica Res.?

 

Damn. I'll be working on my truck that day. With a bunch of help from EDDO, CalTacoma, Leonel, and maybe Rob. How late will you be?

 

I can loan you a 20 if you need it.
