I'd be glad to lend you mine, but I suspect it is an empty offer because:
a) I live in Calgary
b) it bolts into the drip rails, so you would have to remove the chrome trim
c) drill holes in the drip rail
d) get about 4 very strong people to move it (or a chain hoist above the vehicle)

It is 52" wide by 8 feet long and 7" high. You can see it in photos on page 2 in the thread on the Deli meet in Calgary area last week http://www.delica.ca/forum/2008-calgary ... tml#p29805

thanks so much for the offer erebus, its the thought that counts and i surely appreciate it

i havent had time to post that mararmeisto, one hell of a nice guy, is loaning me his!! i knew it was alot to ask, and ill surely do big favours for others around here if they ask!

btw, erebus, the chrome trim tore off one side of my gutters the 1st time i went out 4x4in in my van! the stupid TV antenna thing got caught on a branch.

i hate chrome, i feel like a pimp with chrome trim and bars/steps. ive been waiting months to swap 'em for black with ccglen who has been waiting months for the bodyshop to make white ones black for me!

I hate chrome too, so I end up with a Delica with chrome brush bar, mirrors, side step, etc. Oh well.
