Trailer ?

Well, I am in negotiations for it. If I'm not able to work something out, I'll post the information here and see if anybody else wants it. It is a ways away from me, but only an hour from my Dad, so pick up is not a problem. I just need to negotiate the right price.

Awesome! For the right price, it could be worth a vacation trip to go get.

Okay, so you guys say to add a roof rack. to do that I need mor information, hopefully you guys can help. I've never worked much with aluminum (aside from smashing cans and taking them to the recycler). What would be the best way to mount it? I assume I would mount it to the edge where it is strongest...Do I drill it? Pay somebody a bunch to weld it? The roof rack wouldn't be a priority as I don't have much need for it...yet, but would eventually like a couple of canoes and that would work awesome.

Yakima or thule racks "used from craigslist" would work perfect.
Get mounts for a flat roof that can be bolted through the top.
seal with a gasket or silicone.

I think I still have some bars in Nebraska, would just have to buy the right feet for the flat roof...hmmmm

i would recommend using thule tracks like Mark suggested. they make them for aluminum toppers and you can bolt them right through. all you need to do is use some silicon when putting the nuts and bolts through and you'll be good to go. I've used this setup on my jeep top as well and it hasn't leaked for the past 2 years. attached is a photo that shows the tracks and the podium 460 feet. the 460's are much stronger than the 430's but they aren't as quick to remove. let me know if you need any further information.
