SPike, surely you and malberg could simply truck freight the racks to each other ? would it really cost that much ? $150 ? or so............least you would both have the correct ones then ?................just an idea

 

You; the person who was buying a rack. :-)

 

Well I am taking my truck to Ft Worth TX in 2 weeks for a long weekend.
Malberg lives in California but he will still be 1200 miles from me.
So I do not know if he would want to drive that far or not, if so I would be more than willing to trade with him.

 

Worked out perfect!!!

Here is the donor truck.



And mine.

Is it just cause of the angle... the mount points don't look like they're directly over the pillars: was that for the wrong model of Disco?

It is, isn't it? The donor's a D2, and yours is a D1.

 

LOL Baylink, man I could just flame you right now if I wanted to.
You didnt read the link I included. LOL, thats ok.

That is a DII SD roof rack and I have a DI, so no, it does not line up 100% correctly.
But for $150 I could not pass it up, they sell for $700 used and not even in as good a shape as the one I got.
This truck has been sitting in the junk yard for over a year.
Yes I would like a DI SD rack but not a big deal to me otherwise.
The only people who can tell the difference are Rover fans.

 

And yet, I'm observant enough to have noticed anyway. So I'm getting flamed why? :-)

I agree with Ed and Cam; it looks like hell. Whaddya want for it? :-)

Seriously; nice get. And the only people who can tell the difference are Rover fans who contemplate hauling their 240 pound *** up on the roof with a tripod and camera...

 

what the hell do you guys put on those racks? never had a need for one.

for $500 you could almost buy a lift. or new tires. or sliders. or a bumper.

 

Anything you want.
Yesterday I hauled a 9ftx100ft roll of Tyvek to my dads 35 miles away because he has a Civic.
Once I get a floor on it we can sit up there with lawn chairs and watch fireworks, air shows, duck hunt or reach that tree branch that needs trimming and you need a stable place to stand.
Vacation, hell man, where else is a better place for your mother-in-law to ride?
The uses for a SD roof rack are endless.
