Blue, it's all Yakima stuff from the Load Warrior basket, to the cross bars and mounts that go between the roof and doors when you open them up.
No drilling required.

More info can be found in the Tech section here at YotaTech, and also mirrored on my site at http://www.pnw4runners.com/tando/all_tech/all_tech.htm

Also the rack can be seen at www.yakima.com
Can't link you directly to it, and they have enhanced their whole site with Flash menus over the past few months.

This rack will also fit factory roof rails, and hence sits a little lower to the roof than it does on the cross bars.
It fits both Yakima round and Thule square cross bars.

I dig the rack, and have had quite a load up there in the past.

Whoever told you a roof basket won't fit any Toyota doens't know Toyotas.

Here the same rack on a 1st gen, Todd's with Thule cross bars.

I say the 60". more swing speed and a longer reach when you go to bash somebodies windshield out for tailgating you.

Get a 60 if you plan to use it wheeling.

I have a 48 that I got when I had 31's and now I almost max it out when dealing with the rear tires.

They are big and heavy, but only really worth it for sliders. I agree with the WATRD guy. I can jack off my bumpers, but sliders are where I find the jack most often.

Cebby, all that thin blue italic text you have in your signature is kinda hard to read against the grey background. Maybe i'm getting old and need to see the eye Doc.

A Hi- Lift is designed to be used on solid tube or frame type material, not sheetmetal. I sold my hi-lift because i'd never use it untill I have sliders or an exocage. Even with that chain and hook thing that they sell, the body was not meant to support that kind of weight.

I carry lots of wood blocks, like 12x12x2s and sections of other solid lumber to use with a floor jack or bottle jack. You can Hi-lift for days and never lift a tire. I use wood and a floor jack to jack the tire enough to stack rocks or stuff under the tire and get traction.

When you get solid sliders and bumpers all around, then get a Hi-lift. Even then you have to jack for days and use a chain around the frame and axle to lift a tire.

Cebby

Thanks for the feedback - I'll change it shortly.

I'm leaning toward the 60". Custom bumpers and sliders are planned - just a matter of time....

I've got a idea that will revolutionize sliders and custom bumpers.... You will all have to wait for the unveiling

jx94148

Much better on the signature.

Lemmie guess on the revolutionary idea... Velcro?

Cebby

DARN IT!!! Not so revolutionary after all - but, velcro requires no welding!!

I'm not spilling the beans until I build and test it.

mtnfreak

Are you going for the wrap-around, all-in-one bump-sliders? We're talking bumper car style.

Cebby

I'll tell with pictures when they are fabbed up...

Cebby

You can stop voting. I got a 60" about 3 months ago...

WATRD

What were you thinking Mike? You *should* have purchased the new 92" model, now you are going to find situations where 60" is just not enough

Cebby

I've got to draw the line somewhere...

89macrunner

cebby if only i had a 2nd gen you could fab up some sliders for me also ...well would 2nd gen sliders fit a 1st gen with small mods?

this is a super old thread...wow

Cebby

After my motor swap, I'll be focusing my attention to fabbing stuff. DMG also has a 1st Gen we'll be making things for - we'll use his for getting all the measurements since he has a few vehicles and won't miss it for a while.

89macrunner

well anything you make ill be wiling to model and\or test out on the trails...when i find them around here..lmao
