So here are a few more details on the rack.
First off it's all aluminum!
Weighs about 45-50 lbs.
there are 4 stationary load bars that bolt directly to the roof using 8 mouting brackets to the factory mounting points.
The rack will come with come with 5 load bars, up to 6 additional ajustable bars can be added.
The rack will also come with 10 nut plates for the undersides of the load bars for easy mounting of accessories though the slots.
As with my other products this is a completely modular design so shipping will be relatively inexpensive.
There will be a solid and 40" light bar front fairing option,
I'm not sure about the weight limit yet but I'm 220 lbs and could stand in the center of a single load bar with very little deflection. The oval cutouts along the sides are there for tie down points, the production rack will have 2-3 longer cutouts to be used as grab handles.
I do plan on making several different accessories that will work on both the roof rack and rear swingout bumper.
The base price for the rack above will be $1000.
I do not recommend coating the load bars but black powder coating for all side skirting and front and rear fairings will be an option, likely $75-100 but need to confirm.
Here is a list of options that are currently in the works.
Additional load bars,
Awning mount,
Quick mount rtt load bars,
Round load bars for Yakima accessories,
Ajustable ell brackets for securing loads,
Quick mount accessories mounts for maxtracks, rotopax, axe, ect.
High-lift mount,
Extended rtt fairing,
Wire management of some kind,
Rear load roller,
Aluminum roof basket,
Lockable aluminum dry box,
And more.
I will be finalizing the rack as soon as I get back from 100 in the hills and start production soon after.
The first 10 racks should be done beginning of September.
Pm me if you would like to get in on the first batch.
If there are more than 10 that's fine as well, I can up my order with the laser cutter.
Thanks!
Ben.
