I don't post enough so I thought I would make a tread for the current project I'm working on. I need more space and I want my jeep to look as mall crawler as possible so i figured I would build a roof rack! Seriously though, my jeep is my current money pit and this is my first project of many, and I figured it would be a good warm up. For this project I made my own custom mounts that use 8 of the factory holes, but it is much stronger than the factory rails. I matched the curvature of the roof too! My rack (haha) is also going to have 4 lights facing forward and 2 for backing up. Let me know what you guys think! also it is in progress still, and i will post updates for anyone that cares!

Very nice, I like the mounting idea.

 

Looks great!! I would have made it fit tighter to the roof----just for the cosmetics of it!!

 

Thats a damn good design I think. Nice work.

 

def a good design. Simple enough to lower closer to the roof but overall, great build

 

how you gonna mount please dont say self tappers.
