Bottom could be either or, even a combo, expanded toward the back half????? For roof racks, I prefer a smaller tubing like 1", the big stuff starts to look like your advertising for a sausage company???

That would look good if you matched it to your spare tire rack.

I hate to say it but, you have a nice rack

I want the stealth rack, but I went to a local fab shop (Shannon Cambell owns it) he quoted me 700 for a Gobi stealth lookalike but with the lights and mounts where ever I wanted inluding the powder coat. I may just go this rout rather than making it myself. Now to get permision from the wife

I have the ORU Defender rack and it works great. The dimensions are 4 feet x 5 feet with room for the sunroof.

I may add an expanded metal floor and a wind deflector on the front. Confer type shovel and hi lift jack mounts are also availble.

It has tabs for lights (front and rear) that can also be used for CB antennas

If I didn't build my own rack, this is the way I was going to go.

Its is the Surco. I needed to fit into the garage and with this one I just make it with a inch to spare. The lower profile works for me. I like the it AL so no rust and it was able to fit to the existing crossbars. Also, within the budget.

Hope i'm not too late...i like the idea of smaller tubing, more like your spare tire rack, front to back design, tabs for forward and reverse lights (i prefer round ones) and support bars with some type of mesh support...I can't wait to see your finished product. I also believe it needs a ladder, what good is it if you can't get to it??
