those racks are some cool beans! id rock one if i had an SUV. would be neat to see a skinny, half rack. plenty guys over here use half the roof racks for their yakima ski clips...that they use to hold their fishing poles. or they could just mount it on on half of a full basket. haha. excuse me, im podagee...

I just bought a 1992 4runner and after the motor swap I think I am gonna have to make myself a custom rack. Hope you guys dont mind me borrowing a couple of the ideas

I cut down my Kargo Master "Safari" rack to fit better. It was too wide and just didn't look right even after I flipped the top cage around. They are made for a Jeep and are 52" W x 60" L, which doesn't fit the 3rd Gen at all.

I also remounted it using the mounts that came with it, by reusing the factory rail "nuts". Way better than mounting it to the factory cross bars which didn't look good at all.

I cut the base down 6" on each side and cut 10" out of the center. I bolted the top cage back together and now it fits just right.

you just have to cut were the feet slide in and out, to adjust for defiant vehicles. i cut about an 1inch and a half longer track and it works great as u can see!

Hey SafariRNR I like the way you have those front mounts setup on your rig. Did those come with the rack or did you make them? Can I ask what type of materials you used? I have a rola rack with extension but I find that the front bends down so I am looking for an easy solution to this problem. Thanks!:safari:
