I may try to build one this weekend too. I'm thinking of using clear plexiglass and a yakima roof rack and U bolts. On a 2nd gen Toyota Tundra. Has anybody used plexiglass for that? How thick?
What model yakima will fit a 01 Tacoma?

I used a Yakima stock wind fairing and basket for storing slim items. We had to search to find compact chairs that fit, but they do. My 2008 Hawk sat pretty tall on my 2006 Tundra AC so the wind fairing was needed. It's much quieter now.
Thanks for the photo and advice.... I'd like to get just one Yakima bar rack... not sure if they make them for 2001 Tacoma. I could then fashion my own wind fairing out of fiberglass or 1/8" aluminum. Know any good sites to buy a single yakima bar for an 01? something like this (photo)

I used plexi- don't bother unless you keep it small. I wanted mine to be as wide as the truck's roof and about 14" tall. The corners would catch the wind off the side of the truck and flap, vibrate and whistle. Extremely annoying and eventually the plexi just broke. I had even used the thickest plexi I could find, reinforced with strips of 1" wide flat steel stock, but it didn't matter. Wood, metal or fiberglass seems to be the way to go.I may try to build one this weekend too. I'm thinking of using clear plexiglass and a yakima roof rack and U bolts. On a 2nd gen Toyota Tundra. Has anybody used plexiglass for that? How thick?
Now, just roaming around in a stock Land Cruiser (not stock for long though... bawahahha [evil laugh])
