Need ideas for a better roof rack, something i could easily and securely strap a ladder to and maybe even a basket. Show 'em!

 

i have been thinking about getting one but i cant find the one i saw a couple of weeks ago on the forum i fell in love hopefuly they post it here it was a square tubing rack that took up most of the roof and it had front and rear lights(i know it sounds very common but im looking for a specific one)

 

I've got a surco rack, it's a aluminum rack so it's not as heavy as steel and won't rust. I've got a spare in mine that takes up alot of room so if you need the more space I'd be best to put the spare somewhere else and the lights can get in the way of really long stuff so you may chose to skip em. My mom has one on her grand and we've way overloaded it before without complaint. The crossrails underneath are strong and you can remove the rack and leave crossbars on for different uses or to reduce wind drag when tack not needed.

 

here is mine its welded to the rain gutter. i have carried my spare at and gas cans or what ever else i needed to. depending on the material you use you can make it as strong or light weight as you want.Attachment 57389

 

this is my rack. It ia a Kargo Master 52"x60" Bushman Steel rack from Quadratec.

 

I got a cheap rage rack because well money is kinda tight right now. Haha. I painted it a gloss black because it is steel and well steel rusts pretty easily. I have had it for about two months now and I'm very happy with it, especially for the price.

 

Well, I would show you, but I might get in trouble.

 

Nice

 

look at my build thread i made my own and the pics and stuff are in there

 

I like those d-rings on the front, reminds me of those military blazers and pickups.

 

Haha thanks.

 

Defender roof rack mounted to the factory rack mounts.... Very nice unit

 

Old pic when I had 31s but the same rack.BlackWidow with the extension from Discountramps.com.Its mounted to a Yakima rack

 

I made my own out of EMT. Bought gutter mounts off ebay for $20, and then found some nice thick C-channel steel at work for free. Total cost into it was around 90-100. Holds my spare 31", tool box, jerry can, high lift, shovel and me and two friends haha
