Homemade Roofracks.

This thread has me highly motivated to build a rack for my topper on my truck. But that has to wait until I build my platform bed in the bed first.

Here is my contribution. Really, really hard to find a roof rack for an F150.

Black night roof rack

Hey black night can you post a close up of how you mounted it to the roof? Did you drill through or use conventional mounting brackets?

Unfortunately I don't have any close up pics right now, I'll take some for you when I get a chance. Yes, I had to drill through the roof to mount it. Crazy scary! But no leaks and its been on there for about a year now.

Sorry bud, no link. The rack was built here locally.

Here is a roof rack that I built for a local earlier this year. His objectives were to keep it low profile, make it look like it belongs, retain use of the moon roof, provide mounting for lights. I think I hit all of his goals. The lower side tubes were rolled to match the profile of the roof as close as possible.

That looks really nice. How did you attach it to the factory rails?

 

[GeoTracker90]

I basically built my own T-nuts that slid into the factory roof rack rails from the back just like the factory cross bars do. Here is a picture of the mount from the roof rack to the factory rails.



Thanks for the compliments guys. I may have another roof rack to show off in the coming month or two. I'm getting ready to build one for the 1994 S-10 Blazer that I just purchased. I'm thinking about LED light bars and swing out awnings.
