I have built myself a new roofrack. i got the lights from work for free and the lamanation manager let me build the rack out of aluminum.

all and all i maid out with the Headliner, Roofrack,Lighting X6,wireing,mounts,and hooks(not pictured or installed) All Free minus my labor of course.

and the reverse lights $17, swiches $15, 2 cans of spray glue $6. Totaling less than 50 buks!:woohoo:

let me know what u guies think of my workmanship and how its looking so far. im still working on her ltl by ltl....

I will here once it darkins up a bit.

There the goods on the trail. i need to install a power cap tough. each light is 55w so with them all on at once it taxes my charging system fairly hard.

looks like you built it with gear hauling in mind.......looks like a good design for that. the lights are a cool touch. How is it mounted to the roof? what a great base for a RTT that would make. nice build

I like it thats one of the things I really want to get for mine is some kind of top hat.
I got head liner in the garage but still have yet to put it in.

I dont think a power cap will help, im no pro but caps. are used for something that draws alot of power for just a few moments such as an amp for a stereo, you should think about upgrading your alternator to one that puts out higher amperage

that's probably the best looking homemade rack I've seen
not a fan of how tall it is but it looks super clean!

The rack looks great, and i need to put more lights on my MJ....

The only thing i would have done different is made it a little shorter length wise and put some kind of aluminun "ramp" or airdam so that you wouldn't have air hitting a flat surface. Thats what kills MPG, and driving a refridgerator on wheels... well, the more the better.

Nice work. I like it, and the lights are pretty slick on the mouting.
