yjmoose89 Posted March 31, 2021 Not my idea I saw it on Facebook, just my take on it I started out with 3 six foot farm gates, 2 ten foot sections of unistrut and 40 feet of 3/4 conduit First the farm gates were fitted together I cut the top off one and the bottoming the other two, to end up with an approximate 11’6” total length 1 AzGRMW007 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yjmoose89 Posted March 31, 2021 I then added a top rail, made out of 3/4 conduit and welded on ( take appropriate cautions when welding galvanized) the top rail is mounted with 3 1/2 flat steel cut to 6 inch lengths, I think it was 3/16 thick 1 AzGRMW007 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yjmoose89 Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) I mounted it using the 10 foot unistrut mounted to the factory mounts on the roof, set the rack onto the unistrut and used 2 hole clamps (1 1/4 conduit clamps) to secure the rack to the unistrut. sorry, I don’t have pictures of the mount, but it’s pretty straight forward. I have about $350 total into the rack including hardware and paint. Edited March 31, 2021 by yjmoose89 Typo 1 AzGRMW007 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yjmoose89 Posted March 31, 2021 I may take it back off and paint it with raptor liner. Otherwise I’m happy. It does create quite a bit of wind noise, I guess I need to add a deflector? Not sure yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sou4thNV Posted June 9, 2021 This looks great! Thank you for posting! I was hoping not to spend over $3k on another option. Next stop...get farm gates! 1 radin2son reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
