Java's 4th gen Runner

2006 Rally Course Champion: Expedition Trophy
Best I can do with the tent on. Its 6x6 1/4" angle iron, one side cut down to about stock cross bar size. I used nuts for unistrut in the stock rails, they fit perfect and take a good sized bolt. basket is captured with a piece of flat stock and nuts/bolts.

Dont mind the rust....

Excellent, thanks!

Thanks for the pics bud! I have a similar design on mine, what all did you do to mount the tent to the top of the basket?

And if the guy in the dark grey 5th gen is on here, stop by and say hi! I think you camped down the road by the old bridge. I didn't see you go back by anyway.

Fantastic runner!

Might just have to steal some your ideas for mine...

Thanks! Steal away.

Steel for a new roof rack was ordered yesterday! Hopefully I can find a few non rainy days for mock up.
