GOT 200 series Attic Rack? (3 Viewers)

[LandCruiserPhil]

As one of the original builders of the 80 and 100 series attic racks I see and have enjoyed the value for years. When I entered the 200 market I wanted one. The only one I could find was not made in the USA and was fugly so I made one. It’s sleek, clean, sexy, and is color matched. What’s not to like?

I also installed LED button lights where the old 3rd row seat belt was to provide the loses light from the Attic Rack install.

That's a very sweet product! I think having a piece on the front of the rack that angles up toward the roof is a mild improvement. Mine sits about 2 or 3 inches from the headliner, and I can easily shove a jacket or towel in there and it won't come out (by sliding forward). I'll admit I haven't used an attic rack that was flat only, with no rise in the front, so I can't offer a comparison myself.

Attic Rack With A Twist/Bend

So, I put one of those display grid attic racks up in my rig this past weekend, and I thought I'd post some pics. The reason I started a new thread is to show the bend I put in the front edge, which keeps it from interfering with middle seat passengers' heads, and keeps gear on the rack. The...

Very nice! I am new to LC and this community, having bought an '18 200 series just a month ago. I had an attic rack in my 4Runner that I paid wayyyy too much for and it wasn't this nice. Your side mounts are so cleanly done. I do like the idea of an angled section at the front. I won't execute as cleanly as you did, but am definitely going to give this a shot. Thanks for posting!

I’ve also got an advertisement grid attic. Mine tended to vibrate so I had to run angle reinforcement and eventually tie in to the third row seat belt bolts. Now it’s solid.

I looked at the Kaon rack and felt the design was weak and it was ugly. Jeep part lol. I was entertained by Kaon attachment system, they will make a lot of money with replacement parts. I used a simple approach with nutserts and one will support 100lbs and never fall out, fail, or need a replacement parts. I wanted something that had a factory appeal with clean lines, super solid, and no vibes. The only con so far would be its ~15"x 45".

Nutserts is brilliant. Never thought of that, would’ve saved $50 or whatever those kaon bolts and insert cost me.

Just finish mine. Also used rivnuts or rivserts. I don't like how little they catch on the metal but I couldn't find any metal to drill new hole so just used the largest size that I could find that would fit in the existing mounting hole. It seems strong enough. Thanks for the inspiration LandCruiserPhil!

I like your execution here and i think I'd be in for one. I love the tan interior color match as well

How and when can I order?
