I ordered the baja mule rack from trdparts4u.com (dealt with Gerone). Great guy to deal with. I ordered it on Tuesday and had it on Wed.(I'm next door in Okla). I modified the mounts a little to fit my topper. I also got the hi-lift jack mount and shovel & ax mount. Anyway, I thought I would post a few pics for anyone thinking about a rack in the future. Thanks to trdparts4u and gerone

inside backing plate

 

looks damn good... I want the same thing for my 4runner how much did all this run you?

 

Looks good man. I was going to do the same thing with my shell. Any idea how much weight these things can hold? Since they are fiberglass I wouldnt wanna put too much weight up there.

 

Mak,, the price was around 473. for everything sent to my door. the rack is somewhere in the neighborhood of 277.00,,, the prices are on trdparts4u.com website, tell them you are a member of YT.

ohyeacrx- not sure on the weight they can hold, but the rack says something like 150 or 130. Pretty sure my topper can hold that much but I doubt I ever come close to that. The jack wont be up there much and mostly it will be folding chairs, tackle boxes and camping stuff to keep the bed from getting so cluttered. I did put backing plates on the inside to keep any flexing to a min.

 

HEY!! where are you at in Oklahoma????

 

West of Woodward, at the edge of the panhandle.

 

hey, nice truck man

 

I like it, and the truck too!

 

loove roof racks looks awesome. i think you need a ladder too.

 

sick lookin rig. nice rack! hah

 

lol,, it looks taller than what it is,,, I made a removable step(got the idea from someone on here, but can't remember who). It lets me get on the slider real easy, then I can stand on the top of the back tire and get to everything real easy,,,,

pic of the removable step


and the step installed,,, I call it my FCS (fat chick step)


glad you all like it,,,, ,,,, ,,,,

 

dang..sucks you're on the other side of the state..LOL!..i was hoping you were close..ten we could be wheeling buddies LMAO!..

i love your rig..and the rack..and the step..and i like the name of the step..you should manufacture the step and call it the FCS step..lmao

 

hey camo,,I spent some time in your part of the state back in 76/77/78(yep, I'm old). I was at okmulgee taking auto mechanics , what a waste of time, however I did get to know some of the strip joints down on Peoria street.. man, the good ol days,,,,

 

Thats a hot step, great idea for sliders.

 

thanks, but like I said,, someone else on here posted up a pic of one they had made,,,I wish I could take credit for it, works great,,,,,

 

I believe mt_goat made it.

 

good job on making those steps
and that rack makes your camper look way better

 

thats looks great! man i love the yota. whats the specs? and yep that is mr mt goat that made that step

 

Thanks guys,,,, yoder,,, some of the specs are trailgear sas(four in ft and five in back). Its an auto so I went with 5:71 gears and powertrax no slips in ft. and back. 35 inch tires, ft. long spline double cardin driveshaft from southbay driveline and also a rear DC driveshaft from southbay. dirty thirtys from trailgear, allpro sliders, AOR ft. bumper, 8500lb superwinch, and electric seats out of a 2000 camaro and a few other odd and ends,,,,,

 

God that looks like crap.... I'll tell you what. I'll give you 700$ for the rack and just leave the truck attached to it, I'll be the bigger person and take all of that off of your hands to make you feel better.....












KIDDING!!! That looks freaking GREAT!!!!! Well done on the install and I flat love the FCS!!
