    Looking through the posts in the “What did you do today” thread. I noticed that Tuskano has a roof rack on his truck. And, I’ve been thinking of adding one for a while now.

    So, who has one, and what info can you provide, such as: brand, mounting system, etc., and as always pictures help.

    Tuskano posted a link to a Japanese site that had them in the What did you do today thread.

    They list a few for the Sambar.

    I’m going to make one out of some aluminum extrusion, and mount it with some Yakima components. But it will have to wait for spring. I don’t want to work on it until the warm up.

    Lol sorry. Realized just now I could have posted it here too after replying to you on that other thread. Didn't realize you made another lol.

    You can't put anything really heavy (at least the one I have) as its top weight cap is like 77lbs (sticker if I recall said 35kg). But it is good enough for a spare tire or a tool bag/gas can!

    On my Acty I'm using Thule 300 rain gutter feet and Thule rectangular bars. I'm also using the old-school 555 fairing. Fits and works great. I'm probably going to modify a trailer hitch basket meant for an ATV to work as a roof basket.

    Now that's cool! I once tried a Thule roof rack on my truck... the one I tried was still too big and it is still sitting folded up for a sale or future build lol
