I believe i have pics in my album of the same type setup. The best thing about that is no noise at all. Plus it is a lot stronger than anyone would think. Another great part is that if you want to double the weight compacity, Just go to the JY, pick up two more stock rails and throw them under there. So you would then have 4 rails to bolt too.

 

So did you just drill two holes into your stock rail on each side?

 

Hey man rack looks awesome. Was wondering if you would be interested in building another and what it would cost

 

thanks to all of u who checked out my rack and gave me some props..im really,really happy w/the result...and yea it's very functional..n yes if i rolled it..it would be toast..like any other one...

the way i mounted it was w/reg. u-bolts on my stock rails...simple simon....ill post more pics of it tomarrow..

i havent checked this page in a bit..so sorry for not responding sooner...

so to all,
God Bless...

 

that is a real nice rack. do you have the specs on it and what was the round about price on the material

 

Hi, First off, nice job on the rack.

I built one for my '90 a couple of years ago out of 1/2" and 3/4" EMT and found it to be very strong. This past Christmas, I was giving a driving lesson to my 15 Y.O. daughter off road and she missed a turn. We slid down into a 6 ft deep ditchand ended up on the drivers side. My Jeep came to rest supported by the two driver's side wheels on one side of the ditch and the roof rack against a pine tree on the other side. When the wrecker pulled it out 2 hours later, the only dammage was a bent section of conduit and two blown fuses (from the water in the ditch).

Long live the conduit roof rack!!

 

sweet rack man
good job

 

hey man awesome rack!...looking to build one here to soon would you happen to have the specs?

 

nice rack! love the diamond plate on it. makes it stand out

 

nice! i plan on starting to build my own roof rack quite similar to your own, quick question, how tall is your rack? and how steep of angle do you have on the front of your rack? i plan on making mine 5 inches tall, with a 45 degree angle for the front.
