Important Survey I, Please Respond

[Toyo_Runner96]

Hey guys, I'm doing some research for a school project and I need to find out what everybody out there puts on their roof racks. So if you guys could, please state the following:

1) Make/Model/Year Of Your Rig
2) Type of Rack You Have
3) Items (Can be anything you've put on their before)
4) Pictures if possible, if not it's ok too.

Mods I don't know if it's ok to put this in this forum, but is there anyway to sticky this for just a couple weeks? It's kinda important.

Thank you for your time

1990 T4R: ok, so not rack yet, but I am shopping for one. I am thinking of either a Thule or Yakima, with Conn-Ferr another candidate. I am just make one tho. Depends on the $$.

Will be used to hold camping gear, coolers and luggage for trips as well as a canoe mount. Possably a spare tire and HiLift, but I am looking at fabbing a swing-away carrier for that instead. Will also have auxillary lights mounted to it as worklights to the side and rear. I may fit a third brake light to it, will have to see how it fits first.

Never put anything on there! Don't want to scratch anything. Everything I haul around fits in the liftgate!

I've only had it a few months and so far the racks have held on to a 7' x-mas tree.

I'd love to see pics of your ride with those lights. I have seen very few 4th gens with lights on the roof and would also be interested in how it was wired. I probably won't end up doing it, but I know several other people on here would.
Thx.


For my rack info you can check my sig below. Maybe you should try searching for rack and you should be able to find a ton of results.

I hold on to it when I stand on a tire to wash/dry the roof.


I've only had my truck a month. In the future I see skis, lumber, cargo carrier.
