I tend to strap stuff down pretty well, rather than leaving it to bounce around up there !! I've got a big cargo net, that is very heavy duty webbing, with cam-lock straps, rather than elastic etc. _________________ -----------------------------------------

Hey Mr Moglite we might be related distantly, my mothers been working on our family tree for about 15 years now and one branch of her family a generation or two back had the same surname as you! _________________ Phil

I've not driven it enough at speed to come to any conclusion, I've done a lot of other minor changes to cut down noise too. Things like remounting the fire extinguisher etc.
The front cross bar on mine vibrates like crazy - the square one. Bolting a wind deflector onto that helps a lot. _________________ -----------------------------------------

Been looking but I've thrown so much money away on things that 'should have fitted ok', I have to be a little careful and VERY sure of myself. . lol.
Something will come up I suppose. _________________ '93 Trooper Duty 3.1TD |

the first link is brilliant "a precision moulding device" im thinking of making a roof rack for my 95 bighorn lwb, probably an oversized removable one for tree cutting duty to use as scaffolding... great job on instruction and fair dues to the man for sharing the experience... very helpful |
