HD Roofrack clamps

groucho · 11-01-07, 06:52 AM

We did a group buy of these clamps for the Rising Sun Club in Colorado and there are a few sets of 6 left. Please PM me if anyone is interested in these.

These clamps are made in the USA, the main item is made of 3/16" HRPO steel, the other two details are 10 GA(0.130") Cold Rolled Steel. Each clamp comes with the hardware seen in the picture. Two 3/8-16 bolts, 5 3/8 flat washers, 5 3/8 lock washers and 3 3/8-16 nuts, all grade 5 clear zinc. The brackets are powdercoated(based on a group decision by the Rising Sun group who got in on the group buy) Mock-Rock, which is a slight texture, polyester outdoor powder which is very durable to abrasion and the elements. These clamps are heavy duty and work on most vehicles with a rain gutter. They work on all FJ40's, Fj60's and FJ/FZJ80's.

I hit the center of my FJ60's roof when I tried to use a 4.5" off-brand clamp. This due to the curvature of the roof. As you can see in the photos, the range is 5 1/8" to 5 7/8". If you really wanted lower than that and wanted to buy 6 of these, for a few extra buck I could have the obround slots that are used for adjustment milled out to allow for more adjustment. These are behind the nuts in the third picture. Could probably get another 3/8" travel up or down. Or you could do it yourself for no extra $$$. LMK.

2 sets of six left.

YOTAFAN · 11-06-07, 09:07 AM

Will these be available down the road, like in a couple of months? Or was there just one run of these made?

groucho · 11-06-07, 10:08 AM

This was one run made right now. That doesn't mean they won't be available at any given time, they just won't be able for immediate shipment at this price. The per piece price would go thru the roof if they were to be purchased individually.

If I need to place another order for a few folks, I'd be happy to do it again.

Roberto · 11-14-07, 08:13 PM

I'll take a set, send me a PM with your paypal info for set of six. These will work on my 83 BJ42 and hold good correct?

PM sent.

They will fit any vehicle with a rain gutter. Built very stout.
Cross mounts coming soon...

JAPFPE · 11-20-07, 03:14 PM

Any details on the cross-mounts ?

hill · 11-21-07, 09:29 AM

any more details on cross mounts? any brackets left?>

groucho · 11-21-07, 03:36 PM

Still have 14 brackets left.

2 sets of 6 and 2 individual. I will box up any amount you want. See post #4 for prices.

The cross bar mounts are being quoted right now. They will be made out of either 14GA(0.074") Cold Rolled Steel and powdercoated, or there may be versions made of 0.100" aluminum and powdercoated. All depends on the cost. Right now the idea is to have something that covers from FJ40's to UZJ100's in length, instead of making 3 or 4 different lenghts.

I will have proto pictures up by 11-23-07 of the crossbars.

PM me with any questions.

Thanks.

JAPFPE · 11-25-07, 07:27 AM

Where are those cross-bar pictures ???

groucho · 11-26-07, 06:27 AM

Here are the pictures of the cross-bar prototypes.
They will probably be model specific, but the benefit of that is that it will limit the amount of hangover that may happen when placed on an FJ40 vs. an FJ60.

I will be getting prices in the next couple of days.

Questions, comments, give me a pm.

*Updated pictures from production run*
This one is of the 62" on an fj80

The 62" ones are for the fj40.

groucho · 11-26-07, 06:42 AM

Here are the pictures of the cross-bar prototypes. I am standing on one that was quickly put on for these pictures. I weigh 200lbs, to give some sort of reference.

groucho,

The crossbar you were standing on, is that for the 80? Do you have a price on each cross bar yet. The gutter mount bracket looks like the one at ORU.

2badfjs · 11-30-07, 07:01 PM

these are bad a$$ clamps, i've seen them in person

heavy duty for sure............you think i made them

Dave-T · 12-27-07, 10:34 PM

britklr · 01-08-08, 08:18 AM

groucho · 01-10-08, 10:29 AM

This next order looks good to be done on or before Jan 15th. Please post up if someone still wants some, as I do have a couple extra.

For those who have confirmed that you want some, i will be double checking addresses and making arrangements for payment.

For those who paid already, as soon as I get them I will get them in UPS asap.
