took me three days but i finally finished my roof rack first time using a welder and basically working with any type of metal

 

thats pretty sweet dude! i think im diggin that square tubing!

 

cant wait to see the finished product, im really diggin the tire carrier, wish i woulda done that with my roofrack.

 

Looks like a fine bit of Welding. Look forward to seing the finished photos.

 

First attempt at welding?! That looks pretty good for a first timer! Im also diggin the square tubing. Will it be mounted to the rain gutters or the factory roof rails? You should post the dimensions up. I just fabed up some rain gutter mounts like on www.jcroffraod.com and looking to start building a rack myself.

 

That looks fantastic!!!!

Very nice work. But I think you have more welding experience than you admit to. Or you are a natural.

 

Nice work bud digging the square tubing to can't wait to see it painted and mounted hurry up and get it up!

 

Nicely done! Especially for your first time welding

 

tough to see the welds from that far away and whether or not the joints look good but looks great from this distance. Are you concerned about the tire being a big high with that mount?

 

nice rack man!!! it looks really familiar! lol!

 

Looking good man. cant wait to see it finished.

 

thanx for the compliments fellas but i should mention that i borowed the idea from tactical40 lol i just made some slight changes to it but it should b done this weekend gonna paint it tommorow ill post pics when its done. the tire carrier is from my old swing arm of my bumper only about 2" of the tire is above the top rail of the rack i can always cut it down to make it smaller.

 

Looks great, make sure we get pics when it is done.

 

ok fellas finished up the rack and laid down three coats of dupont bed liner onto it i also got a chance to mount it on the car as u can see i wasnt to busy at work lol

 

looks good dude!!! hopefully yours is lighter than mine!!!!!!!!!!!!! i went with WAY too thick square tubing but the rain gutters will probably give out before the rack breaks! lol!
