Default Finished my Roof Rack..
Well, I finally got time to finish my roof rack. What do ya'll think? Maybe a little too tall in the front but it'll do for awhile. I need to finish wiring to the light switches. You can see the wiring hanging at the back of the rack. More pictures in my photo album if your interested.
Now I need to get busy with building bumpers and sliders and buy tires.

It looks good.

I like that it protects your lights.

I ran the wires thru the rack tubing and out the back left side. There is a plastic cover right there when you open the hatch and I plan to run the wire into it and under the headliner. I will mount three switches in the overhead console where the temp/compass deal is that doesn't work.

Unless I can find some sort of male/female connectors at the junkyard I plan on using MSD Ignition Part#8170 for a quick disconnect.
