Well, I got my upgrades for the year already. At first I got the LoadWarrior and instantly after putting it on I knew I should've bought the extension as well. Besides the extra room, it just looks 10x better. If anyone is thinking about buying a cargo rack, I would recommend spending a little extra and getting a longer one.

Without the extension:




And now with the extension:





I also got a shovel mount kit for a short shovel and have it mounted on the driver side. I grabbed a 36" shovel so I can have room to add an ax later on to the same side. As you see, I was bored and painted the shovel to match my Runner. Is it too much???? I know the paint wont last after the first time I use it but....









Normally I wouldn't run around town with a shovel strapped to the side of my truck, but this time of the year, the beaches are a huge sandtrap and I don't want to be left with no way to get out...

Again, what do you think, is painting EVERYTHING going a little too far???

 

Looks really good!! You have an awesome truck, man. I'm slowly making my own basket thing as I learn to weld.

 

Thanks, I appreciate it! What's bad is when I get to cross one thing off the list to do to it, I add two or three more! (well, really I love it. Just don't tell anyone...)

 

You live in Alaska. That's cooler than any roof rack!

Great, now you made me want the extension for my LoadWarrior! Looks good man

 

Yeah, I love it up here. Once you're here it gets into your blood.

 

Only reason I got my rack now was because Amazon had them on sale, free shipping to Alaska, and Yakima is offering a mail-in rebate. So if you add it all up, I saved about $200. I'll tell you what, it'll sure help me when I take the kids out camping this summer. Already hitting the garage sales, thrift stores and packing up the Action Packers so all I have to do it throw them on, strap them down and hit the road!

Glad everyone likes! Thanks.

 

That it does. Born and raises here

 

Born in Anchorage, but left as a kid. Been back for 5 years now. No place like home!
