I had some time off, so i figured i'd make myself a roof rack.
Made from 1 inch square tubing. Costs around $120 with all the materials. I'm guessing it weighs around 70 pounds. I'm putting 4 lights up in the front tomorrow. I know there's a tone of roof racks out there, but what do you think?

Looks good, I'm drawing up plans to do mine with square tube also. How's the wind noise with it?

I was going to use 0.065 thickness, but the metal shop gave me one size thicker by mistake. They didn't charge me for it tho It's freaking strong too! I'm just guessing at the weight too, i could be wrong.
First time driving with it i was going straight into the wind, It was pretty noisy! Going with wind it wasn't so bad. I'll have to try it out when the wind dies down.

That's beefy for sure. May be a start to a exo cage!
