I understand that this hobby we all enjoy of 4wheelin' and overlanding can be expensive, but I cannot fathom the idea of paying $1,500+ for a roof rack. That motivated me to make a rack for my 100 series...

The goal was to make a rack to hold my awning, gas cans, and hilift. Here's what I cam up with with:













Some stats: It is 1"x 1" square tubing @.072 thick. The rack weighs right at 50 lbs, and total cost of all materials was around $200...

Is this restriced to Toyotas only?
Cuz I was asking else where about the clamp on style. I got gutters on my 78 and I was wanting to clam beccasue I don't have to worry about leaks or dealing with my two piece roof.
If I could add the clps to a coutom made one then that works.
