so got bored yesterday so i made a roof rack out of some scrap 1" tube i had. it measures 57" long x 47" wide x 5 1/2" tall. used 1/2" carrier bolts to hold my highlift, and a 8" carrier bolt for my spare....now just gotta figure out a way to mount it. took me about 8 hrs start to finish....hope everyone likes it. i think it turned out well...

 

Use u-clamps to hold it down to the stock roof rack bars, if you've got them.

 

ya i got em but want a more sturdy setup....looking at making some gutter mounts...

 

nice rack u got there. & i don't mean that in a sexist way. haha

 

you've gotta get bored more often dude...

 

lol ya its gonna be a norm until i start working since i just finished the semester....i got sliders, bumpers and a chop on my list of **** to do

 

very nice

 

well i decided to mount it to the stock roof bars until i have time to make some gutter mounts, need it for a camping trip this weekend. i just drilled some 7/16 holes through the rack and bars and used grade 8 hardware and some lock washers and bolted the ***** down

 

heres some pics....

hey bro next time you get bored make me one lol

 

Nice job, looks good. Gutter mounts are good, and the ones listed above look sturdier than the ones on my Olympic Top hat rack.

mac

 

Overkill much? lol

Great job!

My rack is still in pieces in the back of my jeep till I get a chop saw to make square cuts.....
