When were at LST this year one of the most common questions was where did I get that rack, my friends or I would simply say that it was hand built. Then they would give the truck a deeper examination.

So here it is installed on the truck. I have to say that it looks good, but once I get over my fear of scratching up the wood I will start carrying things on it. It's just that I worked so hard to get the wood as perfect as possible from a DIY perspective that I'm just not ready to have it torn up right away. Trust me I use my vehicles to their fullest, and most of the time I drive them pretty hard. Oh yeah and I drive them to every event I go to. No trailers for this kid...

So there you have it. It was super cheap to build, I would say I spent less than $80 on everything. The wood was by far the most expensive thing on this build. If you bought some cheapo wood you could do this for around $40-$50 total, as long as you have the tools to weld and the like.

So get out there and send me some pics of your roof rack you built!

Stay tuned!

Awesome build documentation... love the rack. If I had more roof real estate, I'd be all over it. Wouldnt look right on a single cab but, is a game changer in your 4dr!
