Building a canopy/cab rack for my Tundra looking at 1" .049 wall square tube with weld on prefabbed corners. Over the cab I'm using some Yakima Q towers and fabbing plates that will be bolted through my canopy.
This will be used primarily for hauling small loads of lumber 100-200 lbs, then camping gear and random items. I want to keep it light and low profile. I will probably run at least 5 crossmembers and gusset the corners, do you all think .049 is strong enough? about 1/16th...
drew it in yellow, sorry for the crappy MSpaint.
any word on mounting it to the canopy? was thinking a mounting plate, two bolts and a rubber gasket on inside and out. Then loose fitting it on my Yakima bars so the cab and bed wouldn't twist it apart.
thanks.
