3/4 & 1/2' EMT conduit, approx $50 (including paint) and took about 4 maybe 5 hours..... finished dimensions 8x10 (10 feet long and comes 8 feet out away from the cruiser) used a 3/4' PVC pipe for cross memeber Arch support (i cut the ends off of two "T" fittings to serve as mounting points to...
those do look cool, i just dont have anywhere i could mount those on my rig unless i moved the tube to the topside of the roof rack, im reserving that space now for jerry can, jack, mud tracks and maybe a hi-lift. Solar panels are on the other side actually 2/3 of the rack.

4" PVC Sched 40, holds a little over 4 gallons, i used washing machine hot /cold valves for water in and water out, tire valve for pressurizing (30-35 PSI is all you need) dont fill the water up completely full so you will have some room to build air pressure for a longer run without...
looking for front and/or rear bumpers, condition (appearance) isnt important, structure/integrity is. Im in DFW area so within 3 or 4 hour drive is reasonable distance to travel to pickup.
thanks!
Hello everyone from Dallas Texas area, new to the forum and to the way of life. I'm in the process of making a few modifications to my two 100 series vehicles, i have a 1999 Landcruiser and a 2000 LX470. Not 100% sure which one (yet) will ultimately end up being my primary rig. I look forward...
