Followed the links and warthogs inst. What do you guyas think ? ran the wires through the rack and into the car


During paint .. used the rhino liner paint

 

N e body have n e ideas what else to do to it.....mmm i bought 1/2 rigid conduit for the cross rails.. just havent got around to doing it

 

I copied Warthogs as well with a few modifications. I used 1/2" emt cut to the frame width, flattened the last 1" of the ends in a vice and bolted them to the frame with 1/4" bolts and nylon lock nuts. After they were attached I rolled the ends of the crossbars down around the 3/4 (I think 1" is overkill) frame and filed them to smooth them up, it gave it a real clean look while providing a lot of stability.

 

A few pics. I had one guy ask me where I bought it, that felt pretty good.

 

wow! that thing looks super good man good job

 

Nice ... thats exactly what i planned on doing just didnt get around to it... i have 6 1/2" 5ft bars of conduit to do that.... you said u used vice grips on the last inch... looks great

 

Thanks man, I pinched them in a bench vice. Make sure you have a center line so both ends get pinched exactly the same.

 

Alright yea... ill makesure i do that... i have a vice bench at my house .. will try doing it tonight

 

Right on man, can't wait to see it all done!

 

looks wicked man!

 

really digging the whole look of the bolts. Kinda has an oldskool look to it. props!

 

Thanks for the props on mine, but this threads about hitalonits rack not mine. I was just trying to show him how my crossbars were attached.

 

Great lookin rack man!
Yea i would put some 1/2" rigid down for the floor, you plan on mounting anything like lights, shovel or highlift jack up their? Again great job and Yes Desert Rat it feels great after you tell people you built it and they say "Wow i thought you bought that some where" or "where did you buy that rack?".

 

The rhino liner added to it makes it look wicked! i love the look of that stuff
