Hey everyone, I've been lurking here for a bit, just picked up my first land cruiser in January. I've been tinkering with it since I got it.
Right now it has a cheapo roof basket mounted to the factory load bars. But I found an original Con-Ferr rack for a great price, and plan on going that route.
My question is should I remove the factory rack and get rain gutter mounts or get rain gutter mounts that mount it just above the factory rack? It seems Diamond rax offers both options.
The Con-ferr rack was mounted to the roof itself which I'd like to avoid. It was mounted similar to this.
Here is a pic of when I got the LC, vs a few days ago with cheapo rack, and a pic the Con-ferr basket.
Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.
