nice job

 

so jus the other day i saw a roof rack on a 2 door made out out of 2 inch sqaure aluminum tube and 2 inch aluminum angle i like the idea because of the weight difference but wondering if it would be sturdy enough i mean to hold some hella lights a high lift jack a spare and maybe and air tank i dont think it would be an issue just throwing the idea out there wondering what you guys think cause i priced out the aluminum material and i liked the numbers so lemme know what you think

 

aluminum is a lot stronger than what your thinkin, they wouldnt build aluminum car trailers if they werent strong enough. a aluminum roof rack would be a great idea

 

I agree. i wouldn't if me and my friends dad built a 2nd story deck usin trex board and a aluminum sub structure to tie it together in three pieces. and the railing post mounts were all aluminum. it wouldn't budge. its way strong stuff. for how light it is.

 

Great job windsoreight, looks really nice.

 

How did you mount that to your roof?

 

thats a nice rack, lol

 

looks like some one backed into too short of a tunnel the way its slanted like that. but nicer rack than i'm gonna build.

 

ok now in your parts list when you have 3 1" sticks (10 foot) and 6 3/4" sticks (5 foot) do you mean 3 10 foot peices and 6 5 foot pieces? or does the total length of all 3 pieces equal 10 feet? and is the total length for 6 pieces equal 5 feet?

 

Yes there are 3, 10 foot pieces of 1" conduit and 6, 5 foot pieces of 3/4" conduit.

 

ok thanks for clearing that up for me man. i really like your setup and will propably build one for myself if thats alright with you.

 

the roof racks look amazing.

I'm dying to know how you mounted them up.

pics pls.

 

Here is the pic of the mounts on my rack

 

i dig it

 

Few more pictures of the build in my albums.
