Default Scratch-built roof rack for my Rubicon

Decided to start building my roof rack... 1/8" solid steel rod and thin sheet steel...

That's awesome. Looks very very sturdy. Are you going to put some mesh on the bottom and some tie points?

mig w/o gas... :/
Borrowing a cheap harbor freight unit from my Mom's fiance... Makes me really miss my Hobart with shielding gas... But, it will turn out pretty nice after I dress it up and paint it...

Not sure... Definitely some tie points, but I may just add a few more cross members instead of mesh... If I could find the right size/guage mesh, I would definitely consider it...

Do you plan on mounting lights on it? It should look great when its all done.
