2nd Gen. Tacoma Bed Bar Feeler

1.125 diameter and the bar is .125 thick. I'm assuming the thicker the bar, the more weight it can hold? I won't need too much weight capacity. Maybe 100 lbs?

 

Do you know if they would work on a 1.5" bar? or is the attachment a solid piece? (non adjustable)

and are you asking about 1 bar or having two so that you can simulate a roof rack but in the truck bed?

 

They may work with the 1.5" bar but thats 3/8" larger than the standard Yakima bar. All the Yakima attachments that I have are designed to work on multiple different bar types so I guess it's possible but I'd prefer a 1 1/8" bar just to stay with the Yakima size. I have the King Cobra attachments and a Yakima box attachment which have adjustable bottoms that mount to the bar like this:



Those plastic pieces tighten around the bar with the twist of a bolt. As you can see, they work on Thule bars as well.



And these jaws grab tighten onto the bar with the twist of a bolt too.

Like you said, I'm trying to simulate a roof rack in my bed for ease of mounting and less wind resistance (i.e. better mpg).

 

okay, if i can't find a 1 1/8" bar at my steel shop then I can just get a 1'' square tube and then lay a 1/8" piece of flat stock over it. if your okay with that




jhodge83- I'll get a shipping quote tomorrow at the ups store but the price of the bars would be 90$ for both bars, as well as all mounting hardware included

 

Could you just get a 1" round bar? I could coat it with some rubberized coating or something. Before you make anything, how much are you thinking shipped for both to 93441? You can PM me.

 

I bought alum and had some made to my spec's but the welder was a clown and messed up 100 bucks of alum .

I am waiting for the shop owner to return so he can replace my metal and I will find another welder to do the job .

The clown burned through the metal and could not weld a straight line , then he took a grinder to it to cover up his shoddy work... I figure I got at least 100.00 dollars worth of laughs out of this goons work though.
Am bookmarking the page and will post pics when done .

 

Matt is still in High School so he may be busy with school things but I'm not sure.

 

well in my opinion you should just get a refund and then have me make you one

depending on the design i could probly make you the same thing and ship it to you for less than 100

but it would have to be made out of steel

 

I've seen these in person and watched him build one VERY VERY High quality guys. Buy them up! Its so cheap!

 

x2! Great product to by.

 

Bump this Shit!

 

fo sho!

i'm still taking orders guys, hit me up and we can work something out.

on a side note.....sliders are in the works. not sure if i'm ganna sell them to just anyone, but hopefully at least to arizona peeps.

the design is ganna be boss. it's one i haven't seen done before, so i'm exited to see how they turn out

 

dibs on the 2nd set!

 

hopefully i can make a jig for these so that they're way easier to replicate without modeling them off my truck.

but if they turn out good then i'll build you a set

 

^^ looks good!
