The things you find when working on motorcycles.
I was over at a friend's place for garage night and I noticed these clamshells over in the corner and asked what they were. He told me it was a roof top box that he has had since the 90s and never mounted. He had all the keys, parts, mounting hardware and instructions and he said I can have it. So I am going to investigate into mounting this directly to the roof rails of the 4Runner with modern hardware since the base of the two of four pieces have a bunch of predrilled holes and mounting plates on the inside. Its weird. Its yellow. Its free. I cant pass it up.
Any thoughts on the best way to attach this to the factory cross bars on my 2017 4Runner? I figure Yakima or Thule would be a good place to start?
Here is the backstory on the item. Ironically this comes from Sweden by means of an ex Saab executive repping a company in Thailand. Classic.
Automotive News | October 30, 1995 - 12:01 am EST --- A WINNING HAND? Tucked in the corner of the SEMA show in Las Vegas was former Saab Cars USA executive Bob Sinclair, touting a modular roof luggage storage system called the 4Space from Dynamind Co. of Bangkok, Thailand. It carried a suggested price of $850. Sinclair said he hasn't missed working for an automaker. And he's certainly not bored. When asked for a business card, Sinclair handed over five of them: One each for his home office and as a representative for Dynamind, ASHA Corp., Zymol Enterprises and Valmet Automotive.
