There are some pretty cool roof systems out there, I'd like to see them. I'd like to get some inspiration.

 

I searched, and found roof rack threads, but no pictures.

and for those of you that have a fairing, what size do you use? I'm thinking about a 32"

In action!

 

That is my roof rack. It is a modified bunk bed. All I did was weld some ends on it and add light tabs. And paint it flat black :cool:

 

And now it has 4 spot lights instead of those two round lights

 

And i don't use a fairing; i like the whistling sound i make when i drive by

Heres mine, its a Surco Safari basket. I did make the light bracket mounts though.

 

 

 

Hope these help you aswell

I have 4" (i think) thule bars which holds the rack

 

What is holding everything together is 6 hose clamps. Three on the front rack, 3 on the back. I have not had any problems so far...

i used 4 muffler clamps to hold the basket to my thule bars and it has a 48" at the widest point wind deflector. basket is made from scratch with about 4-5 hours of cutting and welding

 

 

Ha ha those are the same lights i have!

I made one today, out of some steel I had laying around. It's pretty heavy (~60 lbs) but I think it'll look, and work well.

Here's what I got

 

 

It started as a lightbar for a fullsize Bronco, then I added the pipe for the rack, and mounted my spare, my jack, and a shovel to it. Also incorporated a pair of flag holders on the corners

You're a nutbar Bill.

 

LOL

freebie my friend's dad gave me. It'll work for now. I am gonna use some angle iron and make front and rear cross bars to make a surround/place to mount the lights to.

 

I stole Andys Idea.... just get a bunch of the stock ski rack things and put them on. I used ratchet straps to put my spare on them.........

That is awesome!!!

here's mine:

 

and here's how it mounts to my yakima rack:

 

cost me zero, and took about 2 hours to cut, weld, and paint.

What did you use for that. Heres the beginning of mine. I need to configure up a basket.

It's just angle iron, and some steel channeling. With pipe clamps, and hooks welded to it

 

It's 36" x 30"
