Show me your fj55 roof rack pics

[merbesfield]

Here's a couple. One is on a Rover that I think is very cool. The other is a 55 ARB.

That Pig is mine. First Rubicon Pigrun...I didn't almost roll it there, I almost rolled it a little further up the trail.

Pighead, that Pig in the middle pic looks like it is ready to roll - was it close?

here's my rack,
welded angle to the roof instead of legs on the gutter. Works pretty well as a slider too.

Sweet, where in Oregon are you moving to?

Oh, and welcome to Oregon.

Sorry, been traveling and eating turkey. My new job is in Gresham and my wife and I have our eye on Corbett to settle in. I'd like to be as close to Hood as possible without ending up with another massive commute. Trying to keep it down to 20 minutes.

Thanks for the welcome!

Found this thread while searching on roof racks, I think there may have been a accessory roof rack offered by either factory or dealers...

My Pig came with one:

Some pictures of racks that @JohnnyC stitched together from the Land Cruiser literature:

hi all,

well here's my rack...it's full length

but my pig isn't anymore!

I really need to update its progress on here.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Pablo,

They seem to all be a little bit different. Maybe each dealer offered one of their own design.

Rob4wd,

I always wondered what happened to it, looks good!

Have look on Target carrier thread page 11 and 12. Interesting ideas and beautiful rach from Jmack.

Here are a couple. FIrst, the old school ConFer on my current Pig. The second, the interesting assemblage that came on my long-departed first 55. That rack was last seen mounted on a restored VW bus headed for Long Beach and shipment to the Netherlands.

That 2nd rack looks like one pictured in the literature, except a little longer.

why were some of those racks placed so far from the roof?

Make you reach higher? Better handling? More aerodynamic?

No idea...

TJ...rack on the blue pig I formerly owned is different from the factory one. Note the stylized "W" between the side rails. It was set that high when I bought it in AZ but was adjustable to about four different height positions.

Right, definitely different, but close...

Bump this thread.

Where's a good place to get a rack with towers now?

Mine came with the Con-Ferr... Actually a few people here might recognize it. Still has the yellow sticker on the side. (On the other side)
Has a metal grate on the bottom which i really like. Easy to bungee too and really solid. Clamped with brackets and it has not budged a bit!

@nakman offers many cool racks from Gamiviti, I am sure one them would be a good size.

It looks like he offers gutter mounts as well!

I actually reached out to him last night. He doesn't have a 55 rack developed yet so I might be the guinea "pig"

I wanted to mount some round led style lights up top. Going for the vintage safari look. No light bars.

Limb risers would be a bonus. Not sure how I can pull it off with the 4plus bumper.
