Yakima Gutter Mount (1 Viewer)

[tmdvtpike]

Has anyone fabbed their own Yakima toploader mounts? $80 for a set of four is pricey considering it only looks like a piece of flat steel with a small bend on one side. I'm planning on mounting a rack on my utility trailer to haul a kayak, bikes, roof box, etc... I already have the 1A towers and bars.

You might want to post this in Expedition builds/ 80 and 100 series threads. As handy as these guys are I wouldn't be surprised one bit.

i just took some 1X1 square tube, cut off one corner, then welded it to my trailer lid. viola..instant rain gutters. should be able to do something similar to the top edge of any trailer...

Thanks for the suggestion. Once I get going on fabricating the new sides I'll try out your method.
