Re: Tiki Truck.. Rebuild 91-Sonoma

I am not sure on the dimensons yet... but with this being a replica and going by the picture its looks like I can either lengthen or narrow it fairly easily as needed. buy just drilling new bolt holes and moving the bars in or out. Also I will have to make some new feet for it so I can mount it to my roof... have not decided if i want to bolt it on or strap it down yet..
