My attempt at a cheap roof rack
I seen it on here many times. So I gave it a shot.
Used the following items
6 - 10' 3/4 conduit
10 - Conduit Couplers
10 - 18" banding straps
and a handful of extra Pole Barn Metal Screws with rubber washers.
Total of $42 spent on material
I luckily own a tube bender
so it made it a little cheaper than buying 90 elbows.
All I need to do is Bedliner it, and mount it.

That looks great, I may have to sell my Garvin rack and make one of these. The Garvin is a little too big for me. I have a bender too which will help me pinch pennies when it comes to buying the stuff lol
