You said you paid somewhere around $100? This was $125.. Woulda been easier to get it on CL unless you just enjoy making them yourself? Good job though!

Pretty much what brendancfarrell said...plus I enjoy making my own. I would rather make it, if I can, than buy it.
I just did mine similar to the OP's, and compared to yours, its much bigger and it can accommodate much more than this one. This looks like you can throw a 31x10.5x15 in there and thats it, where as his has enough for 2 Jerry cans, a tire, 10+ lights, shovel, axe and a hi lift oh and the kid that fell in the mud while he was trail riding so he doesnt get the backseat all muddy

This is a great idea... I thought about making one out of conduit as well and seeing this makes me want to more. That's pretty sweet. Is it pretty sturdy and strong? I want to put my spare tire in it.

Can you take some pictures of how you mounted it to the roof? I have the rails on top and it looks different than yours. I hope to start a project like this soon, but the only detail I'm working out is how I'll attach it to the actual roof. Mainly just looking for the right brackets.
Also can't wait to see pics of it finished on the roof!
