Re: Diy roof rack 2 fleetside?????

Could use two more slats at each extremity, radius them at the front and back to follow the roof line.

Good idea, I'll try that. I know it needs some type of different lines somewhere. I just couldn't picture it. After fooling with all the straight line slats that's all you see after a while. Still open to other ideas . Glad I'm using the really cheap wood so the final deal should be error free with the oak wood. So far I probably have about $60 in it including the cost of the C.L. brackets. Not bad for a trial run.

Made some cuts, hope this was what you where referring to. Plan for rails and probably a oak stain??. Will for back and use real oak wood for final rack.
