I used ideas from here to start my own roof rack using EMT Conduit. I did use a different style connection at the corners than I have seen others use. Still needs more drilling and screws, plus paint but not bad so far.

 

I am thinking of Starting a project like this myself. I do a lot of handyman work and already own the tools, and know the materials. Please post more pics as you go along

 

Mounted to the top with U bolts after painting. Still want to put 4 eye bolts in it to clamp/tie into. About 80 bucks total into it and it moves the jeep when you pull on it.

 

Instead of buying the 90' angles and connectors, I chose to buy a 90' connector. That cut down on the places where things could come loose. I wanted it to be a total non welding project.

 

Please show pics and details of how you mounted it
thanks

 

Were did you get the plates that hold the top and bottom together?

 

I used u bolts to mount it for now. It seems to hold well.

 

Is that the little donut spare up there?

 

Here are the side brackets. I used scrap sheet metal laying around the shop.

 

Yes it is. With my spare for a trailer. I have since collected a set of 15" rims and put a 235 75 15 snow tire on it. I am planning to purchase tires for the 15" rims I have.
