Garvin Industries Wilderness Safari Racks
Has anyone used the TJ version, I need storage space and have heard these
are some of the best made racks. I dont do any serious offraod
angle stuff, so I am not concerned with overhead weight(within
reason) Comments??

Re: Garvin Industries Wilderness Safari Racks
I have one & like it. The screw-down method of securing the swing-away
prevents rattles but it's kind of a pain to have to screw and unscrew every
time. Tip...Throw away the threaded long-nut assemblies for the holes you
have to drill in the rear crossmember inboard of the frame rails. Rather,
drop the fuel tank so you have good access to the inside of the crossmember
and use nuts and washers on those bolts. It's not difficult to drop the
tank.

Re: Garvin Industries Wilderness Safari Racks
OK I just re-read the subject, and you are talking about the SAFARI rack,
not the swing away tire carrier. Oops.
Anyway, I was talking about the tire carrier. Don't have the safari rack.
Is 35 too young to have a senior moment? :-)
