Custom Built Roof Rack done!
so i have been working on my truck for the last 2 years and been working on it slowly but have done many many things to it but the most recent is my home made roof rack with light cage
check it out
im not sure if this falls under the right category but here is my newly custom roof rack i build and i love it! what does everyone think?
first i made the top and bottom rails
then started the support inbetween
then
and this is where the trouble came in
but then i figured out to just stencil the good side and put it on the other
and the failed attempt to bend it to its shape haha
then thought about doing this
but decided not to
i had to take off the old top mounts because i forgot that the lights go there haha
then put the mounts ontop of my truck and see if it fits
then start making the brackets
and so on
and i tried this but failed attempt....going to try something else later on
here everyone goes! its done and beautiful!
this is how the front lights used to look
and since my trucks not a 4x4
uploading more pics
my mom took some pics and my mom and dad loved it! thanks everyone!

sweet rack build dude, im gonna build one soon with all 1/2 emt and LOTS of bracing and a ladder for the hatch. A friend of mine just built one for his xj and he did a really bad job, plus he attached his lights to it with epoxy so he has no ajustment whatsoever
