I would like to build a rack for my van I do not have a penthouse so I will be attaching to the gutters. What I need help with is the brackets that attach to the gutters. I have done some web serching and have found nothing. I am looking for the brackets only. any info that you guys have I would appreciate. Maybe some pics.

Search here for Awning brackets and look at Yakima products (live and on the web). There is nothing specific for the van gutters, there are just gutter attachments.
I saw a SMB in Santa Monica on Saturday with a rack that extended forward of his PH, couldn't catch up for a closer look but that would be interesting to see how it was attached

I'm using Yakima towers on my rack. With standard bars, they are only good for 150 lbs/pair. But, the bi problem is deflection in the bars lets the tower loosen up. My cargo basket has zero deflection, so I go well beyond teh tower's rating. I've had upwards of 1500 pounds in the basket with zero issues.
That said. If I did it again I'd use the Defender towers posted a couple posts up.
