Well, maybe it is rocket science after all. Really excellent information Craig, thanks for posting. I guess I always knew there were sound mechanical guidelines behind bolt size, thread count, etc. but never felt compelled to check it out. But yeah, the possibility of a 20lb object flying off...

Nice idea with the spacers on the YAK tracks below the aluminum bracket Camelracer. What did you use for the spacers? -cut the aluminum down from another piece, or did you find something stock? I've got a flat 1/8" x 1 1/2" piece that I could cut into 1" sections or so and stack. Think I'll...

Very nice solutions! Thanks for the info! Based on your responses, I changed my order from 5' yakima tracks, to 10' and will work out placement of the panels on the forward part of the camper roof, leaving room at the back for other stuff, TBD. The Yakima tracks seem to present lots of options...

Hey all, After much time spent on this forum, and talking with Steve at 4WC, I've placed an order for a fleet. It's going on my trusty 96 T100 (210K and counting) with a 2nd gen tacoma the planned successor, should the day come. I've got many of the camper options, and may post in the...
