Just like the title says... lets see your roof racks !!!!

what kind ya got?? or did you build it yourself??

keep original guides?? close up pics helpful..

bring it on

 

Here is my roof rack, built by my Dad and I. Total costs of materials, paint, etc turned out to be anout $170. Not bad, if you ask me. If you'd like dimensions, let me know. These are the best pics I have of it

The one in the back, obviously.


We have light tabs, but the KC's weren't in yet. Shows mounting and all...


Kinda shows the design. Started with 4 pieces of tubing. Bent them, and welded them together making 2 large rectangle 'loops', one set being a few inches shorter on each than the other, to make the top part of the basket smaller, with tabs on the front for lights. after we had those set up, we welded both loops together with tabs at ~4inches for height. We braced the bottom with angle iron and covered it with grip-lapped mesh. Turned out pretty nice, I say.

 

Bilt not bought buddly lol

 

That rack is tall as s***! Im more a fan of like 2" tall sides on a rack

 

Ya i made it a lil tall but im a big camping out doors guy an have a wofe an two kids so its nice to know nothing will fall off an plus it will house my lights an highlift good

 

Good, a+ for going out and making something instead of buying it

 

love the racks and you guys have my wheels turning, I have a friend who's a welder by trade but doesn't have a welder and neither do I but I may have to pick one up as there's always something I need it for. I would have my buddy over to give me some pointers as the only thing I make with metal is this.



I was on the fence about just buying one but after seeing your builds I'm leaning toward making one...

sneaky, how is your rack attached?? is it just resting on the roof braced to the rail??

does the rack itself make any noise on daily commutes?

 

B. Lee from the vendor section makes Bad *** racks. They are completely beef. Super nice looking on top of that.

 

Confer

Hi lift mount welded on, shovel axe on driver side, 4 100watt lights up front and 2 55watters out back.

 

Built > bought. Always
