Default cheap roof racks?

I'm looking to either build or buy my own roof rack, I can see spending 300-500 dollars for a decent roof rack

I found this out of ocala, it's from gander mountian, they are the size of sams club. Place is huge.. I've seen it in my advantures so I feel safe odering it and its free shipping if you guys need guns, hunting equipment, out door sportin goods, anything along that liine. This is the place to go.
Anyways what do you guys think?

I've seen someone on Jeepforum.com make one out of pipe, bent it, cut it and painted it, looked just like the 400$ ones.. I want it to look nice but cheap, my budget sucks =/
