ARCHIVE Building a Safari style roof rack (2 Viewers)

[homesickalien]

For those who are on the fence about ordering a rack from UnderDawg, I can tell you that I had a very pleasant experience and I'm very happy with the new rack. The rack is very sturdy and I like that I was able to make some minor customizations that I think will serve me better in the long run, which would not otherwise have been possible had I just ordered a pre-fab rack. The price was reasonable too. Here are some photos. Thanks again UnderDawg

Pics arent working for me for some reason. Alien, how did it arrive? Was the bed coating intact? I have since figured that making my own boxes is the way to go with packaging. The wrapping is a pain and I dont think its chucker proof (UPS workers). How was it to mount? I only ask this because I know theres room for improvements. I really appreciate your order and I hope you get years and years of service from your rack.

3 more built and ready to go!!





Close ups on the finish powder





Welds are as good as I can make em.. nice and flush.



I'm getting caught up now with orders and will be excepting new orders. Please feel free to contact me and we'll get you one going. Thanks for all the support you fine folks have shown me. I've been able to support my family and do what I love to do, who could ask for more?

Yours is coming brother. I'm able to get the top hoop down as low as 3.75" from the top of the second hoop to the bottom of the bottom... if that makes sense. You'll be very happy with it. Yours is next Top hoop half way back coming right up!!

Weird. The photos worked when I initially posted them. I'll try to post them again later. The bedliner did scrape off a bit on the edges due to rough handling by the freight company I believe. I will just buy a can and touch it up. Installation went well, I just lined everything up, placed a block underneath (to avoid drilling through my roof), clamped the bracket and the rack together and drilled through both. There is a slight rattle occasionally, which I don't think is the fault of the rack or the bracket. If I had it to do over, I might get some thin rubber gasket material to go between the bracket mount plate on the rack and the bracket, just to ensure a quiet fit.

Yes operators are standing by..
PM me a PayPal email and I'll send you an invoice. In your PM please state what year your Cruiser is, size your looking for, Powder coat or not, do you have a business it can be shipped to. All this info is vital so please respond with as much detail as possible.

Thanks for the interest and look forward to doing business with you.

I've got some roof racks done finally so expect some tracking numbers soon brothers... thanks for being so good to me. I'm gonna throw in a couple of extras for you guys too. Little early Christmas presents.

 

[UnderDawg]

[Phares]

Absolutely . Keep on keeping on Jason.

Any update?

 

[UnderDawg]

Big things this week. I've darn near a tuck load for the bone heads at UPS... that said, I'll be in contact with those guys that will be getting their stuff. Thank you for you continued support and considerations.

Not sure if you be interested, or if it would even be worth your time, but what would it cost me to have you bend the pipe and send me a "kit", so to say?

Kind of like a "ready to weld" kit like 4x4 labs does with their rear bumper.

I'm interested in the same. Could you let know how much with shipping to a business in zip 83687

Hope you're enjoying your holiday Jason. Well earned!!! Come back rested. I'm sure you'll be busy as hell leading up to the new year. Can't wait to see what you've got planned next.
