Like I mentioned earlier. I have seen these in jettas and passats. Our Toyota highlander has one too. I'm sure that we can start by doing some measuring. I'll see what the Toyotas size is and report back by Saturday. Obviously we would have to mod attachment points if using anything else than vanagon specific parts but I don't think is impossible. Hell, a piece of plywood wood make a box back there with the right hardware if it came down to it. I wonder what felder and bell industries will think of?
