well,here it is,all but paint,i added some material to the support so i dont need any down riggers,as you can see,my boy got on it,it moved 1/8 inch,which i was fully expecting,with 150 lbs on it,it moved 1/4 inch,but it is made w/ a 3 degree andgle,so 60+lbs levels it out almost,i just need to cut off those straps on the main bracket.this came out sweet,as soon as gunner gets with me on paint,it will be done,all in all i will have about 150 total in material and supplies

i chose to go with no down riggers due to when i tried them,they wanted to push that strap into the door,and thats just bad news,so i added material where it would benefit it the most,and it only attaches with 2 hand nuts,i made a bracket that will slide over the top of the main bracket,and then put two nuts,just to hold it,and it works great

It look really good. How is your vision in your rear view mirror?

Got ya Gunner. Round tube looks good, just wondering about square and aluminium.
Hilljob: no need for a back up camers, just strap your little man up there with a walkie talkie, tell him to keep an eye out in the parking lots.

hed love that,i think your vision is just as good as those w/ 35's,i mean you have to lose some,but those who want things like this arent worried about vision so much

I had no idea you planned to make a roof rack...now that i might very well be interested in...so are you going to take orders? 
as far as orders,no ,not right now,i have to prove out 1 before i will make 2,i dont have alot of time to work on these things,so i would hate to have people waiting,,maybe i will let you know when i build one,im sure gunner wouldnt mind sharing the r&d bill,although,i dont plan on selling them for as much as everyone else,mine will definetly be under 800,not sure about anything under that,but i will not charge anymore then that

I can do some stuff with wood in my garage... but cutting/bending/welding metal, that is just totally cool as hell. I wish I had that skill. I have absolutely no need for one of these, but after following this thread, I think I'd buy one anyway just because they look so cool.
Great job.
