I am sure there is another thread like this, and in my efforts of searching however I was unable to find it... however, I am looking for ideas on a roof rack. I have done a lot of shopping, and am not afraid of spending money... but I haven't found... "the one" yet....

I sorta like the GOBI Tire rack.... but its not 100% perfect. I am looking for something I can purchase, not fab.... and that has a unique look, yet is finctional....

If you have a production roof-rack, please post a picture.... and where you got it.... I am hoping it will help find whatever it is I am looking for.....

Thank you in advance

Oh my god! Did you even use the search button! So annoying...

Just kidding! umm I have a surco safari roof rack, it's not like you usually see going all the way down the jeep. Here's a pic (sorry best one I have as of now)

All I kept finding was threads on people fabricating their own.... everywhere.... which is great, don't get me wrong, but not something I can do. So hence why I buy of the rack.... no punn intended... LMAO

Ha yeah I'm the same way. I was just kidding btw. I'm not a search police lol

No worries bud.... its just frustrating sometimes... LOL... I do like that rack.... would almost prefer one that mounts to the gutter opposed to the roof rails though.... seems like it would be stronger? not sure...

if you get your hands dirty it will be cheaper.. ive been eyeballing the "4x4Dalton no-weld diy roof rack" for a while and i'm pretty sure that the route i'm gonna go. light weight, cheaper and can be done in a few hours with the right stuff. and 100% customizable to however you see fit and what your mind can come up with.

I did see that before, and the thought has been considered.... still on the fence though.... looking for every option...

Anyone one else have pics or ideas for a NON-fabbed roof rack? Perhaps one that mounts via the gutters instead of the cross rails?

Without all my **** on it lol

About $150 shipped i think, i ship them through my work all the time i like them.
I can do better close up pics if you want too

Thats really cool, and the price is awesome... did you get the "back window roof top 24" extension"? I assume that makes it full length? Does the quality seem durable to you, or like I wouldn't put a whole lot of weight in it?

junior3382

I guess what I was getting at, is can it hold the weight of a 35" tire along with some camping gear and supplies safely?

I like my WP roof rack-

XJ-92

i have a custom one that im thinking about selling its a full size rack. it has a tire mount that will hold as big of a tire that you can get up there. also has 6 lights 4 in front and 2 in back. i have a hi lift mounted up on hte rack and it also has an external power source that i havent hooked up yet.

Evilpopcorn

Dude- that's awesome! Easily the best rack I've seen.

XJ-92

Thanks. the black plastic on the front is also removable. currently its off and needs some KC daylighters to match the ones on my cowl

junior3382

If u sold it... what would u want for it? That is really cool.
