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

 

that gobi is a nice rack,but im not sure about the look,i dont like how it gets smaller in the rear,but adding a ladder wouldnt be that hard

 

Here's mine. Kids were extra!

something klike that would be super easy,i really need to know who would like one,and how would they like it,that would give me a real life example

 

I believe that is a SURCO Urban rack.......

anytime you can put something right on top of a stock rack,its way easier,but we will see

 

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

I still want the roof ladders!

 

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??

 

it will be as close to the spare rack as i can get it,i really like that look,and the ladder,i just have to figure out out to make it stay on there w/ou attaching it to the bumper,as then you couldnet open the door
