Now lets see that roof rack. How much did it end up weighing?

Thanks Mike! Any word regarding the beach trip this summer? And I sure do, bought a h55 from the toyota dealership about 4 years ago when my dad and I rebuilt my motor. It's the best mod that I have done so far.shifter looks nice. I can't remember, but do you have a 5 speed in there?
I will snap a pic tomorrow when I go out to the barn. I can lift it pretty effortlessly, but I haven't weighed it on a scale yet.. Forgot to mention earlier that I still need to get a sheet of expanded metal for the base and a piece of 10ga for the wind gaurd. So I guess it's not "done" but the main structure is completed. Still contemplating on doing an aluminum base opposed to the stainless expanded metal to cut weight, but then I wouldn't be able to weld it on.Now lets see that roof rack.

Sounds like a plan to me, and does the tube float happen to be on the Guadalupe? I live 10 min from the canyon lake dam where most people tube.There's that world record river float in the 26 of July, and No official date on another beach trip though there is interest. I'm gonna go again if no one else goes. We can convoy together if nothing else.
Thanks dad, and ya he helped me drill the holes.That is awesome work son. Wish I was not out of town and could have seen what you did with the plasma cutter. Pretty nice work. Was Granddaddy evaluating your progress?
Cut out a rainbow trout for my wind guard for my roof rack. Used a plasma cutter and a drill press for the spots and eyes, it turned out pretty cool.

Thanks J, I am still on the fence about getting some from gamiviti or just making my own. I am ready to start on other projects and get this rack on my rig so I am most likely going to order them. Still need to get it powder coated as well. All in due time I suppose.Nice work MJ. Do you have the gutter mounts figured out yet?
