Ridgid boxes work well for trail gear. Dust and water proof

Prinsu Design full-length rack with ARB 2500 awning, RoadShower 4, Front Runner Jerry Can Mount, and Gobi ladder Not shown is the GMRS antenna mount.. Half of the space is covered with FarmTek chicken coop flooring. I also mount the 100W Renogy rigid solar panel up there as needed.

What awning mounts/brackets are those?

Anyone here know a good substitute for a shovel mount? I’m looking for a front runner compatible mount. But their accessories are so pricey.

Prinsu rack’s own design. They should be available on their web site. They are specific to fit Prinsu racks, so not a universal fit.

I think the best bet is QuickFist mounts [link]. They can be attached to just about anything and used to hold just about anything. You can get an 8 piece pack of mounts from Amazon for $19 [link].

They are Plano "all weather tactical cases"

Amazon links to both below-

The 42" one (left)- http://a.co/d/gvSIf9b

The 36" one (right)- http://a.co/d/hQFy95k

Amazon ran a daily deal on them last winter and I got both for just under $110 shipped to my door. Cheapest I could find weather resistant cases that were under 6 inches in overall height. :)

Looks good!!!!

I use 2” Velcro straps. I want to be able to use the rack for Home Depot runs, so I didn’t want anything permanent sticking up/out. I don’t leave my shovel and axe on all the time, so I don’t worry about UV deterioration and the 2 inch are WAY overkill in terms of working load so I know they’ll hold the load. Cheap/removable/modular.

Pretty rudimentary here. I just throw all my junk up there and ratchet strap it down. Currently have a predator 2000 watt generator, portable gas fire pit, propane tank for said fire pit, and a 10ft awning.

I have the OEM Tacoma racks and would love to see how people have adapted to use them for roof carry. mounting racks and such.

View attachment 69620 Plenty of people ask me why do I leave the Cvt tent on, even though it’s not that hard to take off. To be honest I just like the fact that if something is going on regarding outdoors or fishing, Iam ready. Does it limit me... yes but does it empower me.. most definitely.. Iam ready and willing for what ever.. the rhino pioneer stay on and the husky cargo boxes remain on the bed covered by the topper.

That is one sick rig you got there!!! Nicely done.

Thank you this is how it looks with the lift tires and trax relocation brackets.

How did you secure the Farmtek to your roofrack? Thank you

I think you meant me. I used carriage bolts up through the corners and mid edges, and UV resistant zip ties on the overlaps.

I have one of those. My complaint is that I would prefer a hinge on one side of the lid. The lids have latches on both side and the lid comes completely off. Be better for me to be able to open the lid without having to remove it. Seems like that kind of case is expensive and not offered in this size by Plano.

Scavenged a roof basket from an old Xterra and attached it to the Envoy rack.
