80 Series Ceiling Storage Bracket (CSB)

Howdy all. Posted a thread over in the 80 Series Tech forum detailing how I made a set of ceiling brackets for the back of my FJ80. I had found a stainless steel kitchen shelf that was about 4 feet long (47-3/4 long, 18 deep, and 1-1/4 high to be exact) and would fit perfectly between the rear...

Maximized Attic Rack Usage

I've pulled the 18"x48" chrome bread rack shelf that acts as my attic rack spanning the 3rd row grab handle mounts out of the truck for some headliner wiring work. I am putting it back in this weekend but feel I'm severely under-utilizing it's space and functionality. I want to take full...

After reading this thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/az-copper-state-cruisers/623800-mad-attic-rack.html I knew I had to make one. I picked up a 2x6ft. piece of chrome "Gridwall" at the local thrift for $15. Cut it dowm to 2x4', and saved the rest for later. Sitting on top of the local...

Neat roof (ceiling) storage

It's not a Toyota but thought some might like the idea... In preparation for my storage cabinets and new roof insulation, I took the headliner out. This allowed me to use these nifty little magnet hooks (strong enough to each hold 20lbs) onto the roof/pillars to partly support these cargo...

Hello Everyone, Last year I saw some pretty nifty designs for attic racks and storage at 100's in the Hills, and I would like to get cracking on building one this year since labrack seems to not be making them at this time (and they were like 350 bucks....ouch). Any who, I have done some...

Kaon Roof Shelf...

Been trying to come up with a storage/mounting location inside the truck for my "Tire Table" and it finally hit me a couple days ago that I could mount it underneath the shelf. I tried bungees and straps and nothing held secure. Then I found these "Threaded Star Knobs" and decided to see if...

Nice — thanks for compiling and sharing. Maybe an addition to FAQ?

Much appreciated

I just want to know which is the cheapest and best quality.

I just want to know which is the cheapest and best quality.

I made mine with wood in about 30mins (not counting paint drying). Cheap and high quality. I didn’t make it myself to be cheap, I just don’t like the mesh look of everything on the market.

Those two don't overlap unfortunately

That beautiful aluminum trim above the rear seat headrests - beautiful, but man, I'm just thinking someone could get
a heck of a mark if they turned and hit their head on that. I'd rethink that. or protect it, softly.

Good thought, but I think it's actually at least 12" back behind the headrests. Would be a similar situation that is not an issue on my @Bellfab rack that I recently installed....and love! I've done a trail ride with this and it held tight with no rattles...plus it doesn't block the view through the rear view mirror (like most designs I would assume).

@thatcabledude nice work on the attic rack and rear boxes...super clean! I'm considering building something similar that leaves a cutout for my inside spare tire mounted up.
