Also added the 11 inch light under the plate. The pod lights are hooked to the switch for the factory driving lights and the bar is on its own switch. Wanted to be able to operate them independent of one another

Will definitely keep updates going on it. Comically, its a old daybed frame I cut so I could get the width I needed, ( cut about 6 inches off each side of the folding section) the remainder that I cut will be the sides of the rack and I'll have a open front and back. I'm also using more of the bed frame to brace the rack itself.

Happened to drag it out of the weeds and figured it was a good starting point for a roof rack. Had a big a$$ grinder near by so I attacked it lol

I spotted one similar myself the other day going to town. Had an appointment to make so we were going to grab it on the way back home. Wasn't there on the way back, someone else had grabbed it. I was bummed. lol

The one I saw was probably hollow tube but it was twisted like wrought iron. I just knew I had a project for that somewhere... For something...
