MARYLAND TACOMAS

Also my driveway can get vehicles dusty. You might want to rent a 4wd vehicle then come up just to be on the safe side.

 

FAWWWWK THAT TONY!

Here's how I would have to do the followup repairs if I tried something like this.



Also, look at that Handsome El Caballero!!!

 

Hey Russ, why not keep your bars and buy the basket, waterproof bag and net I have for a fraction of the cost?

 

Water? I have a snorkel!

Dust? I have a desert air intake!

After I come up, WVa will never be the same again!

 

Which basket is that? I want to be able to mount a full size spare in it. (285,70,17). I like the clean look of the avid but not sure how I feel about a possibly 12 week lead time..

 

Internal dimensions 41" x 39" x 5", and your tire is 33". The best part is, the sides of the basket are angled outward a little and curved/tapered, so the back is lower. It would make pulling the tire out easier. When I mounted it to the 4Runner is was solid AF. I could pull on it and it would not budge. When I assembled it I shot some silicone into the side tubes at the connections to eliminate any chances of rusting from the inside out.

$150 for all of it. Delivered.

 

@RobP62 says that rack is no longer available. New version of that rack is $350.

 

Looks like a solid deal from a honest seller.

 

projects never go as planned. Finally got my uptop alpha rack mounted. Thought it would take 20 min since @Jim=2015 TRD PRO prinsu took that long. Spent 11 hours on this damn thing.

 

Looks good!!

 

Cool rig that belongs to a fellow TW member in the shop today.

 

Man what a day yesterday. My little beachfront community took a direct hit from a tornado during the tropical storm. My family and I are safe, but many others in our community have significant damage to their homes or lost them completely. I had never experienced a tornado before and do not want to experience that again.

 

Afternoon John!

 

That's why you should buy mine for $150, with the waterproof cargo carrier and net.

 

I heard he's buying a new Bronco.

 

That looks really great Drew! Nice job. The two tone look is hot. I wish those handles were cheaper though! My nylon handles are already fading bad.

 

Yea, that's a great setup there!

 

Glad to hear you are all ok Danny. You need anything, any help with anything?

 

I was liking your posts on a year old thread last night. The one where the guy built the tire carrier you ultimately built. Let me ask you, what is the process for removing the tire/wheel? Do you remove the lugs and lower it carefully or just leave it in it's upright position to remove it?

 

Thanks man. We're good. A lot of chainsawing in my future. lol
