ok heres pics of the roof rack installed with the shovel mounted

heres a pic showing you how the rack connects to my stock roof rack using U bolts

and finally i figured this was the easiest and most cost effective way to mount my shovel to my rack and anything else i shall put up there, just use more U bolts


i should be mounting my spare up there soon and then mounting 4 lights up front and 2 in the back. stay tuned till next time.

here is a pick showing you where i added 2 more cross bars to proportionatly hold the weight of the tire with the tire being mounted you cant see the wrangler rear tire carrier i bolted into the cross bars but its there lol


any questions feel free to ask and if need be i can take to spare off and take pics if any1 needs me too. i also just ordered RC rear shackles so once they arrive i will be installing them and my CB radio and hopefully taking off my fender flares. stay tuned till next time.
