7 Attachment(s)
Well after wanting a GOBI rack 3 years now but not willing to spend $1,2XX I finally done something about.My buddy has been telling me to make my own for fair to long so I picked up all that I need and got to work!!!
Pick up 36' (way more then I needed but the rest is for the next project) of 1 1'4" 40 grade pipe and expanded metal. Attachment 12273 I came up with the plan and my buddy did the hard work. Attachment 12274 Bottom done. Attachment 12275 Top half. Attachment 12276 Stacked it. Attachment 12277 Primer and paint. Attachment 12278 Now it's done just need to work some spots. http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...psdb72483a.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...psc4fa60bc.jpg http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5aca2d51.jpg Attachment 12279 http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...ps74484655.jpg It comes out to 5'6" long and 48" wide and at 212lbs. I think it came out as planed.:D |
Looks great! May need to look into doing that as well. How did you mount it to the rails?

The mount on the rack 4" long and 1" with with a flat piece of metal in the track with threaded holes. Pretty much both the mounts sandwich the rack in the middle for a solid link.
Here's some better photos. Attachment 12268 Attachment 12269 Attachment 12270 Attachment 12271 Attachment 12272 Came out better then I though and just one more thing I can say I made, now on to the tiregate. |
Looks wonderful dude !!!!!

... It comes out to 5'6" long and 48" wide and at 212lbs. I think it came out as planed.:D Just a heads up; You can only carry 38lbs up there now vs a Gobi with a 200lb carry capacity? You know the rails you have attached to are only held in with riv-nuts, right? They have been known to rip right through the roof with heavy loads. Notice: Loading cargo on the roof rack that weighs more than 113 kg (250 lbs) may damage the vehicle. |
Looks great Jay.

If you don't mind me asking what were your measurements for your rack. It looks great by the way.

You can take the roof, Id rather sleep in the seat...! :rolleyes:
Nice looking rack though. What's your plan to solve the weight issue? I ask because I'm going to build one soon, I'm trying to compare as many ideas as possible. |
