calmini roof rack..pics..good? - 28/02/06 07:31 PM

Dose any one have any pics of the calmini roof rack on their x? I’m thinking of getting one and I didn’t know if it was worth it or just to get a load warrior.

I strengthened the roof screws and added washers.


I then tapped the couplers and added stronger screws.


and last but not least my latest pile of gear.



And before people start bitching the grill guard will be replaced with a shrockworks in May.

Geez you people are like animals. Yes all the fruity stuff will come off in the end but according to my wallet I need to stuff about 2500 more dollars in it before I can complete everything. I'll post pics of my gps,tablet and scangauge rig later maybe that will make some of you happy. And no I'm not in construction I'm a technology architect.

Jeez, how much can it cost to take off steps, flaps and swaybar? Its free!

laugh

Plus, you can sell the stuff on e-bay, and end up ahead.

When you've run through the $2,500 you plan on, then the real work begins....BWAH HA HA HA!!!

wink

I need the steps for the short wife and kid, the flaps have been heavily modified to create a special wind turbine effect designed to offset the tailight wind drag by 0.0000736 [Finger]

I use the X primarily to get me to places to mountain bike. I've done shocks,tires, and exhaust also. I did have the sgt lobo rack inside but I took it out due to clearance issues with the bikes. Oh and most of my gear is for a bug out bag scenario. I like to be prepared. :p

I like to keep my bike inside and I'm short. wink The other stuff is either workout clothes or tools.
