Thats a cool tool you have there.
Is it possible for you to share the dimensions of he final product for others to home fab? With all the work you are putting into this, i would totally understand if you don't want to disclose that info.

Yeah man, i can turn pretty much make any of these into 2D drawings without much trouble.
Are you looking for dimensions of the mounts or the rack I modeled?
The rack was just kind of thrown together... I'm planning on having Doc "do his thing" in terms of how he wants to build the rack. I just made that model to help visualize some of the mounting ideas I had (like the most recent one I posted incorporating the crossbars)
The rack, those mounts will be a bit much for a home fab with standard tools. Alltho, you can probably make an extra set and sell it on here. Put a little change in your pocket.

Sure. It's pretty standard though... pretty much made it 4'x6' (tapered the rear back to 46"), then adjusted the size of the top until the angles of the front and rear looked appealing.
Here's a side view. Rack height was 6" OC and the angle for the front was around 37 degrees and the rear was 70 degrees.
lol if i had a a tube bender, welder and some welding skills i'd probably be out there making it.
looks great. will be nice to see once you have it made & attached.

I took another look at the roof rails in relation to what I wanted to do, and realize that they are not close enough width wise to forgo the cross bars & attach the rack directly to the roof rails. so the unitstock will have to work to lower. great model of what you want to have made.

I'll tell you anything you want to know about the rack, but you'll have to spend a minimum of about $ 600 to get a decent Bender and tooling to get started. And I'll say it again, youare putting wayyyyyyyyy too much effort into the rack design.
And I've got to say this is my favorite quote

Doc, make no mistake... you're building me a rack!
Working on some of those mounts you talked about now to get an idea if I can machine them without spending big coin on some fancy bits.
Edit: and im only putting as much effort in as I want to. Some people watch a lot of TV, others my age play hours upon hours of video games..... me? well, i like designing/fixing/solving/etc. This is my hobby.
