Parts needed/used

grinder (or just a way to cut EMT)
hammer (or vise grips to pinch ends of EMT)
drill
screws (I used 3/4 inch self tapping)
EMT i used 7, 10 ft long, 3/4 inch thick








heres my bs general directions


if you want me to draw them up better if you would like to use them let me know.


so to start off,
measure them out
mark your cuts
cut away





using a cheap grinder






first cuts






second cuts




next use the hammer to smash down the sides so you can use the screws






heres my hammer


(wish i used vice grips)





screwing together


start by doing the 4 corners on the bottom and the top
next space out the middle bars on the bottom






trying to space them out






just checking how it fit on the top



then i put the top and bottom together






i did this by just doing the 4 corners


then throw the rest of the sides on






half way done


i just used U bolts to hold it on using the factory bars






finished front (halfway)







finished back (halfway)


I still want to;
add 3 more bars on the front and back sides for stability
ad a cross brace on the back for stability
add some lights on the front bar
paint it black
grind off the sides so i dont cut myself anymore

 

total cost with a ryobi drill and ryobi grinder screws and EMT, 130

cost if you just bought EMT and screws less than 50
