We went with the Thule Hullavator. Not an inexpensive option, but certainly the easiest way to load a heavy kayak on the roof. Can be added to factory side rails with Yakima towers and crossbars. Possibly Thule as well.

Thanks for the mount tip @1911 ! Simple design, uses existing bolt holes, has a rubber pad underneath to protect the dash. Decent path to run hidden wiring. Looks like a winner to me. May have to pull the trigger on this!

Two things added/done this morning: Gamiviti dash accessory mount installed. I had been looking for a way to mount my phone on my dash, because my 20-year-old GPS that is mounted up next to the rear-view mirror is slowly sh!tting the bed...

The two center-most rivets I needed out came out easily by popping the center pin with a small drift like @pb4ugo said. Gamiviti accessory mount installed; for now it is just held in with a couple of big sheet metal screws I had laying around...

Tim, my FJ43 has the plastic rivets. And since it’s from a general market it does not have a dash pad.

Thanks Tim, I already ordered some on-line. @GA Architect gave me a part number for them (above). Tomorrow morning I will pry the old ones out.

I think i just used a punch on the center pin.

Really odd how my 1982 has slotted screws... that's how it came to me 10 years ago, and no way the PO would have done something to swap those over. Bob what does your 43 have? @1911 are these the kind where you depress the center section...

I always go spare to LF... I figure the front is the hardest on tires, where they wear the most.. so make the guy who just got off break go up and do some work. Then 5 rotations later he comes of the RR and can go on break again. probably...

Ok here's a new one. dashboard accessory mount, fits 77 and newer using the screws for the defroster vents. My 40 has carplay now... the sound comes out of a bluetooth speaker that rests on the tranny hump videos, more pics, all...

hey Brian, thanks so much for the kind words and so glad you're happy with everything! Can't wait to see it all mounted up... and Ken, best part of our story is we've been friends since before I even made my first rack. so grateful for...

@nakman Gamiviti racks are awesome. Tim is the best! I had one on my 80 On my 100 On my 200 My daughters have them on their 100 series and GX470

Good afternoon folks I post some on the 80 series. (not enough) But owning a 200, as well, 2 of them the wife drives a18 and mine is a 21, I lost my 14 to one of Bambi’s relatives. (R.I.P) And replaced it with the 21, A shout out to Gamiviti...

Got my Gamiviti rack @nakman installed Sunday and my 23zero 180 awning on finally. Ready to get out in Creation!

Ok that was really easy, thank you!

Hey Geoff quick question... I recently had to get a new phone (old one lost its cellular network connection) and I have a new phone now, another iPhone 15. I have done all sorts of restores from backup, etc. but for some reason the Toyota...

yes. we sell a cross bar kit to add extrusion cross bars across the top of your OEM rails. Can be done in any length, I think that's what you're after? Our wing brackets are a direct bolt-up, here's a pic:

You mean……

hey @CardinalFJ60 did you get any good pics of our 40-60-75-80 run? Of all days to be without a working phone... :bang:

I'd like to see all the trucks for sure

hey @Beastiethe70 ! great to meet you in line up before the photo!!! so many cool 70 series. Of course, I could repeat the glowing descriptions of this area, the awesome people, the chill welcoming vibe...it was just plain great!!!! I gotta...

Heck yea. Your whiskey turned the power back on.

Hey SAS gang! the lovely @Mesa Woman reminded me that I should probably post up a reminder... remember tomorrow night (Thursday) we'll be doing a little whiskey tasting, over by the main event area... say 7:00? top three answers... 1...

Update: The following codes were found. P0729 Gear 6 Incorrect Ratio, and P2714 Pressure control Solenoid “D” Performance or stuck off. Slee got the truck in and pulled a sample of the transmission fluid. They said there were metal specks in...

@riffman12 Good timing- we just released a new version of our roof channel towers called the "shorty" version... the height difference is 1.25" compared to the standard ones. So per the technical term above they now come in "pretty dang low"...
