He's not being a dick, you post in the fab section and say your thinking about building a roof rack, good for you. Go build it and show us or ask a question about mounting it, tell us what your making it out of.

You want feed back? It looks like a bed frame.

You are going to want the front sloping the other way so its a wedge through the air, if not, it will be huge drag, big loss of mpgs

I am anxious to see how tall it is with the tire slanted like that. Jeeps are top heavy as they are, I would keep the tire low. JMO
