Operation Roof Rack Complete

OK, its done! If you do this project (transplanting an FJ Cruiser rack to one that never had a rack), you will need to purchase the "hardware kit" from Toyota. Pretty simple if you get the kit.

Looking good. Just see one problem. There is no UC sticker on that truck anywhere........

Dave, there is a sticker it's on the left rear window at the back of the window!!! Proudly displayed!!!

I'm assuming this a smoke free vehicle?

Where is the built in cigar cutter?

It also needs one of those old school ash tray that used to be at the airports. The brushed stainless steel round ones that had the button you pushed and the top opened. I'm also hoping you are going to rplace the seat covers with dark brown leather. Glove box that has been converted into a humidor.

This is a must. I'm hoping you put that rack on so as to give occupants an option of smoking while being outside in the fresh air.

Rack is for swivel mounted twin 30 cals...possums up here are big and dangerous!

AND my whole life is non-smoking....heh heh heh

When Turkeypen and I put the rack on the right way the otehr night the directions from Toyota said to torque the bolts to 160 psi...we didn't because it seemed that 60-80 was more than enough. Anybody have an opinion?

There was some talk on the FJ forum about wrenching those studs and bolts right off. I would not go that tight either. When I took the factory bolts out I could see where you could run into a problem. There was shredded plastic in the studs making it harder to re-install.
Glad that rack worked out for you.
Oh Yeah...thanks for the smokes too!
