I like it. I wasn't sure what I was going to do without a bender, but you just proved that one isn't necessary for the roof rack. Looks real swell.

That looks great. I'm still so indecisive if I would want a rack or not. Although, yours has pushed me in the direction of getting/making one. Nice work, man.

Thanks everyone. I wanted a roofrack because we do alot of camping and couldnt stomach paying over 300 bucks for one. I have a welder and use to do alot of welding on offroad trucks and drag cars, so I did it. Could of came out better but it works..

Thankyou.
I used
3/4 square tubing .065 wall about 70 feet, wont need that much but incase you screw up somewhere.
It is 60 inches long (front to back)
46 inches width.
If you have have factory roof rails, you will have to measure yours for width they might be a little diffrent.
If you need anything else let me know.
Remember measure twice cut once.
