Part 3 of the roof rack build.
When were at LST this year one of the most common questions was where did I get that rack, my friends or I would simply say that it was hand built. Then they would give the truck a deeper examination.
So here it is installed on the truck. I have to say that it looks good, but once I get over my fear of scratching up the wood I will start carrying things on it. It's just that I worked so hard to get the wood as perfect as possible from a DIY perspective that I'm just not ready to have it torn up right away. Trust me I use my vehicles to their fullest, and most of the time I drive them pretty hard. Oh yeah and I drive them to every event I go to. No trailers for this kid...
So there you have it. It was super cheap to build, I would say I spent less than $80 on everything. The wood was by far the most expensive thing on this build. If you bought some cheapo wood you could do this for around $40-$50 total, as long as you have the tools to weld and the like.
So get out there and send me some pics of your roof rack you built!
Stay tuned!
