I see. Thanks for the images. I've been looking into doing a net on the roof for light weight items. Something like this: http://www.safaristraps.com/cargo-nets/safari-straps-53-2520-1-inch-cargo-net-medium However, I like the firm platform option more. Do you have any close up mounting images?
Nice! A couple days later we continued North up 395 to 89 then 4 West to Calaveras Big Trees. Hwy 4 is an amazing road with some steep grades and beautiful sights.

I've been paying close attention to my ScanGuageII the past few months and generally I'm averaging 17mpg 50:50 hwy:city in San Diego (somewhat hilly) and 20mpg strictly hwy (trip up to Sacramento via Hyw 49). This is all on a factory spec 80-series with 33" tires and front bull-bar.
Here's my home depot special.
Crossbars have threaded ends so I used threaded pvc pipe for the awning cross supports.
Sewed pockets on the material for the pvc to slide into.
Used half a busted awning side (legs that extend/fold) for the vertical support.
It's not the best looking thing but it...
