Hey guys. I'm sick of my ugly conduit rack and now that I can weld, I decided its time to build a steel one. This pic is one I found and I'm trying to copy it exact. I'm gonna call a powder coated tomorrow and find out how much it may be, might just spray paint it. I'm gonna do the hi lift mount on one side and repaint our old hi-lift. I'm going to get 32 more feet of steel and plan on finishing tomorrow. Still working on mounting it...

 

Lookin good so far!

 

Very nice. This weekend I plan on building one of my own. Im thinking about making a small one too but I'm not sure yet.

 

Thanks! Post a fabrication thread if u do, I'd like to see it!

 

I sure will bro!

 

Looks great! If your looking to add a shovel or other tools you might wana check out how I mounted mine here ( https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f58/ro...holder-124046/ ) since my rack is similar to yours. Just a suggestion

 

I'm building a roof rack with square tubing real soon, once I get my tax return. I'm using 1" square steel tubing. I'm doing a full sized rack though.

Here's my design, but I have gotten rid of some bars that go across from side to side, but it's the basic design





Can't wait to get building

 

That's gonna look awesome. Definetly make a fabrication thread so I can check it out!

 

Heres what I got done so far. Gonna go back out after dinner

 

And this is enough for tonight!

 

Looking pretty awesome. Can you take some close up pics on your mounting system? So I can get an idea on how it should look.

 

yep i will post some cloe-ups of the mounts just as soon as i figure them out. im either gonna do rain gutter mounts or just bolt straight into the stock rack holes on the roof.

 

Looks solid I would defiantly go gutter mounts on that nice work.

 

I do, I just need to start building already....stupid snail mail.

Here's todays progress. Dad and I also figured out the mounts so I will make them tomorrow and post pics. I got 48" of 2"x3/16" for the mounts and I'm using the stock rack holes in the roof
