i've got a samurai and i'm thinking of getting some waffel boards where/how have you guys mounted them?

sj has an almost standard body and back seats still

I know someone who is selling boards and mounts...

Mounts are bar/cage or flat panel fitting...

I haven't tried to fit waffles on my SJ yet, but may do like a friend did on a 90 and stack them on top the bonnet, they are a tight fit inside. He just used a pair of large pins sticking up out of the bonnet that went through the holes in the boards, the boards then locked on by padlocks when parked up and linch pins or R clips when off road.

i like the sound of that

i've seen brackets to fit on a landrover back door (no reason why it wouldnt fit a sj) it was like a jerry can type holder for waffel boards . . . anyone know if they are any good ?

and bertie i'll be in touch when i decide what i want/need/is shiny Laughing

I cut mine down a tiny bit and just had across the bed in the back between the wheel arches and tail gate, however I don't have that cover fitted for the fuel filler giving me a bit more space

Just ratchet strapped in using the 1" wide ones and a cut up old bicycle inner tube slipped over the strap to protect it.

i kinda need that bit on mine also may be welded on Laughing

i know what my mates are like when they find out they get to go for a skate Laughing

but the cutting down isnt a bad idea aslong as its not too much

Mine are up on my bonnet
Got 4 bits of long stud and spot welded some large washers on some nuts to hold them down.
Then when I don't need them just put nuts and short bolts in the holes as the stud sticking out on it's own looks a bit dodgey
