my "new" roof rack

[Walton99]

Hey guys, I just scored a great deal on a roof rack and just threw it on today, it's a custom one built by the guys at On & Off Road in Oberlin, Ohio, I'm going to paint the attachment brackets tommorrow so they don't stand out so much.




I also need to fab up a little bracket for my spare instead of the ratchet straps that the guy gave to me. I also picked up a set of KC Daylighter 150s and a 48" high lift with it and all of that only ran me $175, not too shabby if you ask me, let me know what yall think.

Looks Good, I like how it slants in the front. My brother and I are planning on welding one together when we have some free time, and that was one of the aspects that we were going to have. It makes adding lights to the lower bar easy and gives them protection.
I like it alot.

if you want I can take some more datailed pictures or measurements for you, let me know. The KC's fit up there perfectly, i just need a couple hours to wire them up. Something else that's cool about this that you can't tell in the photos is that on the drivers side vertical supports are two round holes to allow me to put bolts through to support the high lift, hell let me grab my camera.

ok here's one of the front angle


And here's a couple of shots of the vertical bars with the bolt welded to the back for the high lift

I like it a lot. How sturdy does it feel/how strong are the mounting brackets?

[Walton99]

how much were those mounts?

Sorry man, don't have a clue, I bought the whole thing as a package

How sturdy does it feel/how strong are the mounting brackets?

As a test I stood by the back of the jeep and shook the living crap out of it by the roof rack and there was absolutely no give or budge at all, it seems extremely solid and does not feel like it will go anywhere at all

no pics yet.. still waiting on some piping to finish it off... basically I just cut parts of the front out to allow more air.. and will be replacing the rubber hose with 3" mandrel bent aluminum...

how much did you pay for the rack and are they willing to make more?
