Hannibal USA
Adventurer
roll over from a thread in the trailer section. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/59290-Sierra-4x4-Trailers../page4
I used the Hannibal rack with the aluminum rails that help distribute the weight over the top. Hannibal directions tell you to drill completely through the hard top. I don't like this idea at all.
I bought some weather tight "mushrooming" riv-nuts that are meant for for rack installation. I did some research on the strongest part of the hard top, which is just outboard of the rib on the hard top. This is due to it transfers the load to the side of the top. I just drilled through the first (outer) layer of the hard top in 6 points on each rail.
Works great! I can get some photos if you want some.
