Made and installed a new rack out of superstrut/unistrut Fitting the side rails. 2" angle iron. Mounted using 3/8" carriage bolts. If I were to do this again, I'd make 1" t-nuts to make removal MUCH easier Painted and assembled Static load testing. About 225lbs. All contains are full of...

Unistrut/Superstrut roof rack. Two bars will touch the roof with my weight (about 225) on either bar, but do not touch with my weight between the two. The full size strut wouldn't do that, but I'm good with it the way it is.

No, but a lil bit of blunt force clearancing did it. The upper mounts were rubbing on the floorpans.

I haven't grabbed any pics since they were installed

Update for Northwest Trail Innovations (vancouver, wa). They now have a rear bumper as well, starting around $490 and runs up to $1290 with all the options. NWTI sliders are now made by Full Force Metalworks (also in Vancouver). They are HREW, bolt on and with or without kickout, and top plate...

Something similar for me tonight, but then I felt something odd coming from the front left when I got on my street, then I heard the hissssss in my driveway. Guess I'll be changing a tire first thing in the morning...

Still very much required for my remote start (compustar)

Picked up a clean '05 SR5 V6 with 119k last week for $10k. Steal around the PNW considering '99s with twice the miles are listed for the same price.

Having had a lifetime of vehicles with insensitive fuel level senders, I've learned to rely more on trip meters than fuel gauges. It also gives me a keen idea of average fuel consumption and MPGs as I'm constantly resetting trip meters and calculating mileage. If you know that you should just...
