Been thinking about fabricating a roof rack for the CRD. While looking for ideas I saw this Toyota Image
in the ski hill parking lot today. :shock: Talk about inspiration! :5SHOTS: I particularly like the use of the straps holding this on doubling as a way to hold rag in fuel filler neck. :rockon:

Thoughts?

Start checking bridge heights prior to attempting to pass under as those numbers may become critical with a rack of that magnitude.

LOL :-)r Look out for the garage door and at the drive thru!

I was actually thinking it would raise the center of gravity and greatly increase roll-over potential during evasive/ defensive driving on road or when :JEEPIN:

:shock: Yeah, I'd say that's a bit much! My roof rack sits somewhere around 3 1/2-4" above my roof rails. I parked in a garage two weeks ago where the clearance was 7'. Between my lift, 31's, and the rack, the Liberty cleared with only a few inches to spare; if I would have had my gas cans on the rack it would not have cleared.

Some people aren't very bright, others simply don't think. Although, the guy probably thought he was being resourceful. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually, I did wind up talking to this guy, and he seemed normal enough. He was very proud of himself because he gas welded this menagerie. :frankie: He didn't look like someone to be kept from dipping his toe into the gene pool. No outward signs of being "special". :shock:

Wonder if his rear window still works????? He may need that if he wants to use his runners actual cargo space :ROTFL:
