Re: Roof rack opinions

Just finished 1 phase of roof rack. Easy to modify if I don't like it. Only going to be for light loads. Very quick to remove probably won't have it on most of the time.

Re: Roof rack opinions

Hoops have not been cut in picture yet. The front brackets are made from scrap pieces I had laying around which have not been cleaned up yet.

Re: Roof rack opinions

Laying out material for light weight roof rack that is very easy to remove when not in use. Machines a piece of stock to fit inside conduit prior to welding. Unistrut will be used on the top.
