$47.00 Custom Roof Rack Build
Whats up guys I have been wanting a roof rack, so I decided to go get some metal and throw something together that no one else had. Not finished yet, still have to put the cross bars on and completely weld everything together. Let me know what you think, be easy this is my first build! keep in mind i've only spent $47.00 on this build. I plan on powder coating it when finished, will post more pictures tomorrow!

Sweet. Thank you sir. Do you have a guess on how much weight it could hold with the cross members?

uh im not 100%, but the .095 is really strong so depending on how you place and weld your cross members anywhere from 200-300lbs would be my guess.

Is this runs from the rear end of the sun roof to the rear hatch? Pretty neat. Do you plan to make more and sell too?

Looks good, even upside down. I'll take one, or maybe just sell me that one and build another.
