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. but 70lbs??? what thickness tubing did you use??

 

Looks good.

 

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

 

looks good. im think of doing a roof rack but not sure how i want it. still making plans and looking for ideas.
very nice though.

 

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!

 

really like the concept of how you mounted it. Will be using that a guide when i do mine.

 

what it that bult welded there for?

 

never mind that nut bolts down to tighen it down doesnt it. shoulda read that gutter mount thread before asking lol

 

yep, your right.
I added some lights
