Roof Rack that ataches to roll bars

[wickywick]

I've been looking found a couple with what looks like cheesy hardware
I have no hard top. And it will be a while before I can get one
Any suggestion on a roof rack kit

I welded trick tabs to my roll cage and made some cross bars. The roof rack is a cheap generic type.

I would think weld tabs to the rool bar, just as you would weld a tab to the front bar for lights on the front bumper.

etrailer.com has some inexpensive roof racks/roof baskets from good manufacturers.

If you had 4 tabs welded on, you could easily bolt a rack on with some long grade 5 hardware.

This is similar to the tabs I used for the roof rack

In this case I used a tab for my ham antenna. The roof rack tabs are welded the same way. I cut some pieces of conveyor belt to isolate the rack from the cage.

The 40 is in hibernation for the winter Reno winters are not conducive to driving an open top rig.
I took the rack off to get it in the garage.

Right on no problem I understand. I cruised one morning me and my boy two big carhart jackets gloves beanies
And lots if ice on the trees. Cold as all could be but memorable times.
I will resend thread when it's nice and warm.

Thnx again

My rack bolts to my external cage with 4 bolts on the front and 4 on the rear. One pair of bolts per section of angle iron (1/4" material).

The cage has 2 pipes that run from the front hoop to the rear hoop.

View of the rear:

View of the front:

Side view on a trip to the oz bush. The rack has some 1/2" nominal thickness marine ply. It can and has carried a lot of stuff/weight over many years.

Obviously it's a custom rack and was made to fit.

cheers,
george.
