Dude this is a sweet build. Going to do the same thing with the shackles, how think are each plate? Looks like 5/16"?
I made some home made shackles that are 1.5" longer than stock (center of bolt hole to center of bolt hole) out of 5/16 plate. A bit overkill, but they won't ever flex.

Thanks Matt! Its a simple build but I'm stoked to get it back on the road.
These were all made from 3/8 plate. I got them from Midnight 4x4 here in Utah but you could easily cut and drill your own.

I'm ok with overkill!
Clean looking rig!

No 8155 is the Race number for Canguro Racing! Friends of mine that Race a 200 series.

I ran support for them in Vegas and had those numbers to get into the pit.
Also installed my Roof Top Tent Last night!

Thanks to Cruiser Outfitters I finally got some altitude! Put the old man emu Heavy springs on. Rear bumper is coming and hopefully another roof rack system to hold my tent.

There's a lot about that rack design that is v neat. But on their FJ80 version it looks dang close to the roof though, maybe even hitting it
I suppose with that design you're locked into the width dimensions based on the cross bar lengths. I think there's some variations with the FJ roofs....with a design like say ARB / Rhino / Front Runner their rack does solve variation because the rack sits on top of the feet and you can adjust widths.
I've tried moving my dialed in rack to my buddies rig once and it didn't fit, we had to spread the paws a touch out.

Cross bars are able to be ordered specific to your application and the clearance has been fine on the 80.
The 60 is flatter with less bow so that will be even less of an issue. The load bars are very strong and rigid so very little movement even with load!
I love the fairing

Yeah def! But also my point....getting it to fit 1 application with a few careful measurements doesn't seem like a prob. It's more so if you ever wanted to sell it or put it on another FJ it might not fit, unless the other rig was more narrow and you could cut the cross bars. Not a reason not to buy it, just giving it some thought.
Do they have a published weight on the assembled rack?

Dude. Its application specific you but for your truck. If you want to sell it to someone with another model later that's crazy.
It's like every other brand out there. Buy for your model. Mine is different than the 80 they aren't universal racks.
Zach is prototyping to roll out for us Toyota guys. He has racks locked in for fj cruisers Tacomas fj80s and is now working on 4runner fj60 200 series 100 series.
