Default RcBros Scaler. Rack or No rack?

Double J Products hook me up with a sweet EXO Cage and roof rack. However, I'm just not sure if the roof rack is meant to be on the titan body.

Here's some pictures.. You decide..

I still need to cut my moab foams and install them on my RC4WD beadlocks. Then I got to get a new rear bearing carrier and were set!

Heres a few more pics...

I think I like it better with out the rack.
I know I made it, but i've honestly never been a big fan of roof racks on Pickups. but you can always put it on an FJ or Blazer, it'd look good on something with that type of body.

Hey man, nice rig, as always JJ awesome work, i think the roof rack doesn't do it for me on this particular rig IMHO, you can always send it to me.

Great looking truck. All the tube work and the rack look great but I agree that the rack just doesn't compliment the body.

Thanks guys. Thank Double J for the sweet exo work. I created an older version myself, but it was showing sides of newbie building lol.. Double J worked his magic!
This guy makes smooth bends and clean brazes! If your looking for some tube work. Contact him!!

Here's the previous thread of the build up process:
BB-51 Titan

I think the roof rack will stay off.

I like the blacked out look have to agree with the others though, rack just doesnt go with this body. Save it for a Fj or something.

the truck is too round to accomidate that rack... it doesnt look right. on a more square body, it would look cool, but not on a body like that... it just doesnt match up

Exactly. It doesnt fit the contours of the roof. Like Nicole richie in Elton Johns undies. Doesnt sit flat enough to the body for short.
