ARB Roof Rack bike carrier?

[ryguy]

Heres my problem: I need to transport at least 3 full sized bikes in/on my fj. I was going to buy a reciever hitch bike carrier but that was before I got a jerry can holder that mounts on my spare, hence no clearance for both. I'm looking to attach some sort of carrier to my ARB half rack. Has anyone fabbed their own fork mount to an ARB that I can duplicate or know of a company that makes universal tubular fork mounts? My headliner is covered in tread marks.

Do you have a pic of your set up? I know Yakima uses tube, Thule uses box

Do you want to run it with your front tire on or off? If off is and option, Yakima and a company called Saris make inexpensive (under $30) fork mounts that I'm sure could be adapted will a little head scratching.

Also Try Rocky Mounts.. They are a little cheaper!
