How much to have one built for me? I'm broke but curious, because I know there is zero way it will come out right if i do it myself. When it comes to building things from scratch with metal i fail miserably lol.Originally Posted by phsycho
Hey nukin, if you want to make a rack you could make a trip to kzoo and I could make the bends for you. It only takes about 5 minutes to bend.
I don't know if I would have time to do it all but I might be able to help you out with some cuts once I get my band saw back together. Pm me if you want.

I built my own clamps but in hindsight I should have used thicker steel. It holds weight fine but sorta bounces back and forth. I got lucky and the side rails fit perfectly over the stock cross rails and that helped keep it ridged.Originally Posted by Jeepasaurus
What'd you use to attach to the drip rails?

Thanks! I built a real nice rack out of steel but its too heavy for where it'd mount considering how narrow it is; So I think an EMT rack is the way to go!

easy and cheap...and can look pretty good if you take the time. Like I said before, I'd use 1" for the cross rails if I built another.Originally Posted by Jeepasaurus

I like what you did, I may try and build one or two, question is what does EMT stand for? and why didnt you try and attach it to the stock roof rack mounts?
