I came upon some steel to make a roof rack out of.
I have not cut the bars for width or any vertical supports yet.
How should I attach the rack to the XJ so that it is sturdy?
I would like to put a tire holder in the rack and I would like to be able to put my canoe on top of it occasionally. The roof seems to be very thin sheet metal and bend easily, and the side gutters dont seem too sturdy either. I have a stock (crap) roof rack that's very loose/leaky and I'll probably just leave it there if possible.
It is a 1989 xj pioneer 4 door.
