For those folks out there that have built there own roof racks, I have a few questions for you:
1. What size tubing did you use? I will be using square tubing, so round tubing sizes won't help me much.
2. Did you use stock rack mounts, or did you use gutter mounts?
3. If you used gutter mounts, did you fab your own, or buy them. If you bought them, what kind did you buy, and if you fabbed them, got any pics, please?
I would like to have a fairly low profile rack(roof rack that is) so I am building one with 3" walls, and that will only measure about 6" from the gutter mount to the top of the rack. My eventual plan is to have a suitable platform to put a tent on for camping. The bottom will have expanded metal and be Herculined for more of a non-slip surface
I'd appreciate pics, close ups if ya got em, of the gutter mounts you have made. Also, any words of wisdom are welcomed too.
