Where can I find this Roof rack?

I want a roof rack like this for my suburban or something close. Can I have some suggestions?

I agree, looks custom.

Imo, building one yourself is the best way. You can make it exactly the way you want with any kind of provisions, plus, I think $400+ for a roof rack is too much.

unfortunately all roof racks are expensive. The best way to get a roof rack you really want is to build one.

Looks pretty custom ... I'm planing on building my own using structural framing system from Mcmaster Carr ...stuff is like a big erector set and it looks pretty cool and is super strong .

That is a Smittybilt front bumper, no longer made. You can find them on CL sometimes though.
