i am looking to build my own roof rack to mount on my Tacoma. It's large (hence why I'm building my own) so that I can pitch a tent up there and have my own cheap version of a RTT. I don't plan on putting too much weight up there, just kayak, bike, bulky gear, maby a pair of gas cans and thats about it. When in camp, most of that stuff would come off, and I will pitch a tent up there where my girl friend and I will sleep (if we even need a tent). I'm planing on using expanded metal for the flooring.
Here are my plans (done on paint, so parden their simplicity). The black is thick wall tubing, red is thin wall for weight savings. I'm undecided on putting the third bar down the middle of the bottom, but other then that I think these are about final. Does anyone have any changes they would recomend before I pass the point of no return on this?
Thanks!
