How about a ladder to go along with these?
Id be interested.

Loving my rack! It looks great and very natural. Mounts and bolts down easy. Not to mention it was a real treat talking with drabbits about obtaining my rack and shipping it to me. drabbits is incredibly polite and helpful; he could give lessons on customer service.

EDIT: Can someone help me figure out how to fit the pics nicely in my post? Other forums I use auto-size the pics from imgur, but they're humongous if posted in T4R directly.

Testing Jeepguy's suggestion to see if resizing works:
Yay, it worked, thanks dude!
And yeah, the rack really goes great with the ARB Taco! I'm hoping to get some Cooper ATPs and either get black rims or plasti-dip my stock ones and Big Sis should probably look even better.
If I'm gonna nitpick, about the only issue I've had with the rack is the fairing; it gets loud over 45mph but I knew drabbits was experimenting with a new fairing mount with my rack that needs a bit of adjustment. No biggie, really, just that the fairing probably needs to be flush with the roof and needs some vibration inhibition for the areas that have space between the fairing and the front of the rack (I'm deaf but according to my wife the fairing is banging on the front bar). Nothing a little creativity can't fix, just been too busy with other things to bother with it so I took the fairing off. For me personally, I really like how the rack looks without the fairing (I'd say the same for any fairing, really) and it doesn't make much noise without the fairing.
I've stood on top of the thing without a problem. The bolt-in sunroof insert is easy to use and a nice convenience for extra cargo space as needed. Anyone getting this, I definitely suggest springing for a removable crossbar or two- they're super easy to put on and move around to distribute weight as desired.

loving how the deaf guy dedicates an entire paragraph to the noise issues
maybe the wife wants to keep the fairing up there to drown out your constant drivel and babbling I kid...
Was actually looking at the rack on the rig the other weekend when I was in Sacramento for the wedding and it was a well made piece even though I own a Whitson Metalworks Rack, Its a worthy competitor, similar enough yet vastly different in their own right

That reminds me... what new toys have you been cooking up?
Been wondering if you were working on a ladder like someone suggested? Anchors on the side of the rack for mounting a hi lift? Any updates on bumper work?
I'm hoping to get a RTT soon, and if I do I'll try to snap some pics with it mounted on the rack and see how well it works. I got those extra crossbars for a reason!
