Thanks @xtiaan2000 ! I’ll definitely keep posting progress. Once these are done it’ll be a matter of welding them in and then placement of the runners and cross pieces. Planning on integrating roof-rack mounts and an overhead console in the front and along the center. Would be real easy to install headliner panels as well.

Got any links to your roof rack inspiration threads? Ive had an idea for a low profile roof rack and since ill be doing roof repaira soon it makes sense to combine the two..

It’s a very obscure thread called “Target Carrier” here in the 55 section. It’s kind of a Holy Grail thread.

No need put put yourself through 85 pages of nonsense.
Roof rack starts around page ten and goes for a few pages after that. Then I believe I finished the rack somewhere around page 35 or so.

Thanks for the tip! I was hoping to avoid spending the next week trawking through epic build threads.. and while its a valid use of time id rather be bashing away in the shed ..

It may be long, but it will make you want to be a better person.

Thats the ticket! I can't wait to tackle the cancer in my roof. How did you get the bows for the hoodliner out?

Bows for the headliner? Took those out years ago when the headliner fell apart. Building an alternative headliner at some point in the very near future.

Okay what my bumper? Haha!
Those were the heads of a couple extraction receivers from some mid-90’s Kenworth tractors. They’re gaudy but totally different from the 3/4” shackle mounts everyone else uses.

Yeah yeah, don’t worry, they won’t be on the new bumper
