For the record, these tires are awesome. I have had a set of 265/75r16 load range C's on my 3rd gen for about 35k miles. They easily have another 5-10k left on them. They're a great tire at a great price. They do well in the rain on pavement, and they do well in the mud. I have started...

It's great to see someone else went with the Walmart Wranglers. I have had the Goodyear Wrangler Authority 265/75r16's on my 3rd gen and they have been great tires so far. Around 35k miles on them and they still perform well. I have started getting some chunking, but they lasted a lot longer...

There really is, and it's nice to able to modify it exactly for what you need it for.

It turned out pretty well and I like the design of the flat rack. It's very functional, and is strong enough to walk on. I can put lumber on top of it and haul around my wooden pirogue. There is a little wind noise at high speed but it isn't bad. It's sort of the same sound as driving an...

Here's a look at how I mounted the rack to the brackets and the roof. This is the rear bracket. It's basically a pedestal bolted to the angle iron supporting the floor of the rack. The middle bracket was different from the rear bracket because of how my flooring ended up. I used an...

Wedgy just followed your link and answered my own questions lol. Still a noob. Any leaks or problems drilling into the roof?

Thanks for the compliments guys. That's really interesting with the extended rails. How did you attach it to the roof? Did the downward angle towards the front mess anything up?

Here is a look at the brackets. I used 1.25 inch angle iron. The roof is not flat, so we had to angle the upright part of the bracket in slightly. It is an inexact science, and I used a grinder, a level, and soap stone to get the bottom angled somewhat correctly. Basically, I would put the...

Hey guys, new to the forum but a long time lurker. I thought it was time I contribute something. I've taken advantage of all the info on here for long enough. Without further ado. I began with factory rails that I bought on ebay. My 4Runner didn't have a factory roof rack, it just had the...

Hey guys, new here. I've got the process down (I think) as far as attaching an image. However, if I try to upload an image from my computer, Amazon photos, or Google photos I get an error message. I thought that it was because I they exceeded the file size of 137.6 KB's, but I resized one...

Not to take over the thread, but do you have to resize the images? I tried a test run with an image from my photos and one that I copied the url from online. No luck either way.

Excellent point. Bump.

Not to high jack the thread but are there any other options other than flickr?

Still working on my post count.
