Custom Roof Rack Mounts

[Sal-XK]

I also plan on getting some rubber caps for the extra thread sticking up.

I was wondering what you were going to do there.

LMCAO!! No bro, I'm talking about the rack/cargo basket not the rails.

I like the screw heads black, nice touch.

Edit: I just realized I posted in this thread instead of your actual roof rack thread. LOL, you have like 4 or 5 threads on just your roof mod......LOL!

Caleb, the adults are talking LMAO I crack myself up. eheheheh

Caleb... got ya!

Yeah, i was going to have a custom rack built (hence the other thread where i was trying to figure out the size i wanted). But then when i started ordering materials for these mounts, and then 4xG made their announcement so bought one of their belly guards, the $250 shipped price tag of the Rola couldn't be passed up. It was either that or wait a lot longer to have a custom rack built.

With that said (as shown here), the Rola actually measures 74x41 at the outer edges. So, the width really isn't nearly as bad as i was expecting.

41" is a good size, dont get me wrong.

Is the rack metal or alluminun?

[Matt]

Aluminum is metal...... but its the steel kind of metal if thats what you were asking

[Matt]

Machined the last two mounts today.... changed a few processes and got it all done, start to finish cleaning, in 5 hours. Not bad... I bet I can knock out a whole set in 8 hours

Yes smarty pants.....steel, easier to weld on. In case you want to widen the basket, just saying...

[Matt]

[IamJEEP]
