Default Drip rail roof racks

Have found one, the Olympic Top Hat for $650. That ain't going to happen.

Do you know if any other drip rail mounted racks that are decent and prices reasonably?

Suggestions ? Pics of yours if you have one please.

From what i have see they are all pretty pricey, it might be cheaper to make your own. there are a lot of threads on here from people that have done it.

But the cargo area is too small.Will not fit sand ladders, gravity shower, full size shovel, hi-lift bar, etc.
Nates4x4 4' x 6' rack is $300 delivered. Weighs 65 pounds empty.

I have Nates4x4 as well. I found a coupon on FB, so I got it for $320 shipped, with the 4 front light tabs welded on and 6 gutter mounts. It took a long time from order to delivery, like 7 weeks, but its a well made rack for the price.

I'm tired of wet crap, smelly crap, hay bales, etc inside. My dogs smell bad enough.

Plus the XJ is used as a Medic unit when I work horse shows and such. Back boards, coolers, etc.
