who built the roof rack with sliders?

[mark]

who built that roof rack with the sliders down the side of it? im thinking of building just some sliders for my roof and attaching them to the nutsert rails where the factory rack went, anyone got any info about doing something like this, or should i just go for it and hope it holds up?

hey :farmer: how did it work as a slider, im lookin at something mainly for trees and sometimes dirt banks, and not really like slamming hard into them, just to slide with, and maybe a place to attatch a strap for the guys to pull on in really off camber situations

From what I've seen they work pretty well...

...but the rack is tied into a cage now.
