How much to have one built for me? I'm broke but curious, because I know there is zero way it will come out right if i do it myself. When it comes to building things from scratch with metal i fail miserably lol.

I don't know if I would have time to do it all but I might be able to help you out with some cuts once I get my band saw back together. Pm me if you want.

I built my own clamps but in hindsight I should have used thicker steel. It holds weight fine but sorta bounces back and forth. I got lucky and the side rails fit perfectly over the stock cross rails and that helped keep it ridged.

Thanks! I built a real nice rack out of steel but its too heavy for where it'd mount considering how narrow it is; So I think an EMT rack is the way to go!

easy and cheap...and can look pretty good if you take the time. Like I said before, I'd use 1" for the cross rails if I built another.

I like what you did, I may try and build one or two, question is what does EMT stand for? and why didnt you try and attach it to the stock roof rack mounts?
