Post subject:  custom roof rack
Okay so i only paid for the bolts with alen wrench heads on them and the rest was free, so i have fabbed this up...
Image
Image

those are mounted in the stock rail holes to this 1" square piece from Lowe's... my bro gave me his excess
Image
Image

metal from work that they were going to throw away so i snatched it up
Image
Image
the excess will be cut off eventually, just wanted to see what you all had to say ...

Image
Image
Image
i used a garage door bracket to connect the two pieces

my unused Hella FF75's will be mounted here when i am finished with the rack
Image
Image

i have always wanted clearance lights like the Hummer's have, so this will be my attempt...
Image

any comments at all are welcome!!!

Just make sure that if a load is ever put on the cross bar that it doesn't hit the roof... not that I ever made that error when building my custom rack :roll:

my problem is that i do not have a welder... and if i did i would have been done a loooong time ago
also, i am see some surface rust on the pieces, so what would you all recommend me using to stop the rust?

Try Naval Jelly it's a rust inhibitor. Works great for the price.

Do you have any pics of the supports being removed? I need to remove mine and would like to see pics.
