[DeadheadNM]

Over the summer I’ll do my best to locate a salvage yard burb to glean some info from. Like you I want more utility and ease of transporting canoes, kayaks, etc.

I’m thinking that rivet nuts could be used to attach feet without removing the headliner and only drilling the outer skin. The rub is not knowing the depth of the dead space at various points between the inner/outer skins. Thinking three feet each side with two rivet nut attachments would be solid and distribute the weight well enough.

I’ve seen a detailed write up of the marker lamp install. That’s done without having to drop the headliner surprisingly. The holes are drilled though the outer skin only and the harness fished through a hole near the top of the LH A pillar. The pillar trim is removed to run the lead to the dash. I’ve got this in mind too.
