2008 taco4x4 access cab/fwc winter insulation
seeing all the cold trips being posted thought i'd show my easy and cheap fix to take the place of factory arctic pack for fwc .as i have eagle model that came with velcro installed on top side edges of roof i did not have to add attachment point. my wife donated a king size comforter which gave plenty of material to make covers for each side all we did was cut to size seam edges,add matching velcro to top edge and we were good to go,just make sure you make sides long enough to tuck behind end panel's.and is easy to store in stuff bag. sure does keep it warmer when it gets real cold!drive slow and enjoy "its the journey"

2008 taco /fwc/kayak roof rack
Thought id post a few pictures of yak rack on fwc might help someone thinking about building one.Cradles are made out of 1"x2" thin wall with pipe insulation for padding.cross pieces are 1"x1" thin wall edge mounted to maintain strength for off road use.Cradles are mounted with 2 bolts,rear has slot for roller that is taken out after loading.A we have a tandem with rudder i load with rudder towards front to keep from breaking.Loading is easy just tilt up roll forward until yak drops into cradle strap down with rachet's straps and your good to go. drive slow and enjoy "its the journey"
