i love that! i wish my welding skills were good enough to pull that off! I might try and fab something similar with super strut as the underlying support....i am fairly handy with wood working so the slats would be a breeze....
I got a gamivit Flat rack. I like it because its steel. I installed some flood lights to it in this pic but have since removed them. I have a pair of Milwaukee 2012R headlamps that we use and the lights come out of the headlamps and stick to it or anywhere on my truck with magnets when we go camping. Its the flattest most low profile closest to the roof rack i could find.
As far as after market racks go, my personal favorite is probably the old school, full size Conn-Ferr. For a full modern rack I'd go with Bowfin.
I also like the original 60 roof racks, but don't discount a good set of Thule or Yakima cross bars, which I've been running for 5 years.

I'll throw in another vote for bowfin, the t-channel makes it really easy to modify mounting points as needed. For my camping bins I can interlock the feet on the tube front to back and use a couple pieces of right angle as cleats for side to side then just have to strap it down. I like that it uses the entire length of the drip rail as well
Wow, fantastic! I’m planning to weld up a rack for my 62 in the next few weeks… can I ask what tube size & thickness you used? Looks like maybe 1x2? I’m planning full flat, no rails. Have 6 frontrunner towers.
Gamiviti! Excellent quality, great communication, he'll build exactly what you want, how you want it. Most low-profile option I could find on the market, my rig even fits in the garage at work, with my RTT on top!
Nice to see your rig again! I bs’d with ya (this is Shawn) and drank beer while you and tim installed that last year! Looking great!!
^^^^^^those are clean pieces 
Home made custom alum! came wit the rig and was massively handy hauling material when i gutted my cabin. I miss it!!!
