hardtop underframe for roof rack

#1 by janso , Sun Aug 12, 2012 9:14 pm

Evening all!

While I'm waiting for my snorkel delivery it dawned on me that I'll have to put a new aerial in for the truck as the original will obviously get in the way... thoughts?

I digress, seriously drawn up plans to build storage into the tub to start fairly imminently. Im also planning to put a rack on top of the hardtop canopy (yes, Ive decided to put it back on, more practical than a sports canopy).

Whilst trying to plan down the line of common sense, I think a frame under the canopy would benefit the intended roof rack for weight - has anyone else done this to their classic??

This would obviously change the storage plans slightly if the frame needs to be bolted to the tub base as opposed to the edges.

Bit of a roundabout post, but Ive written as Ive thought!!

Hope it explains itself - thanks all, any advice would be a huge help before I start!!

Do you mean the aerial will be in the way of the snorkel????
