Gents - I have seen similar threads in the past with a success rate within the 50% range. I have been working my ass off on my 72' 40 since the fall with small projects like disc brakes all the way around, mini truck power steering mod, new fuel system (including tank), bucket seat upgrade - and the list goes on.
I want to get her back out on the road for the summer and do some serious camping (hunting) with my 7 & 10 year old boys. That means gear and a need to carry it outside the vehicle. I have done the research on the net with aftermarket roof racks like DiamondRax, Wilderness, ARB and Gobi. While these look like great products - none of them really got me jazzed with respect to the asthetic vision I have in my noggin. That prompted me to search Google for FJ40 roof rack pictures and scroll through countless pages until I came across the FJ pictured below. For whatever reason, I found this rack (and the 4 rain gutter mounts) pleasing to the eye.
With all that said - anyone out there in the abyss want to take a guess as to where this beauty came from.
Thanks!! Mark
