Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

Does anybody know of a metal fabricator that could help me make some extension brackets for my Alu Cab RTT? The brackets they sent won't work by themselves with the roof rack on my wife's T4R (non-factory roof rack). I'm trying to avoid adding additional cross bars to minimize how high the RTT would sit on the rack.

Here is the bracket it comes with. The second picture with the red is to show the flanges I don't need. By making an extension bracket it will allow us to attach to the roof rack which currently we're an inch 1/2" too short. I can provide one of the brackets so a replica (minus the flanges) can be made.







Thanks in advance for any help. Here is the tent test fitted to the truck and a shot of it home on the saw horses. My wife is chomping at the bit to go camping with her new setup.

 

Never saw a second of it.

 

Liar. You've seen many seconds of it in gif form... But there is a good Anne hathaway scene...

 

Okay, so I can't say that anymore. Good ol' PornHub...

 

I've arrived in Canada my friends

Little bit of traffic leaving Mexico but took 130 and wasn't bad at all.

 

Where in Canada?

 

Yes it Does.

 

Thanks y’all flatter me more than my wife.

 

That's why we are all here I Think.

Morning y'all

 

I'm meeting today with the owner of Metal Work Austin this afternoon to go over the brackets I need fabbed up. Also will be talking with South Austin Metals as well. Hopefully will get these turned around quick.

 

I’m gonna have to get with one of these places to see if they can fab and weld on some kick outs for the sliders I have ordered. If they ever get here...

 

Can you call them and have them added before they ship.
