Homeade Roof Rack
Just wanted to share my roof rack. I added rings to be able to use as a lift off for removal. I added 1/8 steel inside also the length of each rack.

Very simple. Used my mitre with steel cutting blade then simple welds. Very strong especially adding the steel inside. Got all materials at Lowes. I used my lift this morning and it works great.....

I did something similar. Used some extruded aluminum for rails and made the cross bars from 1-1/8" aluminum stock. Also added a Rugged Ridge windshield light bar and made a cross bar for that. Works great for anything long like lumber or kayaks.
Love the looks of your though. I've been thinking of the rings for lifting the hardtop off also. Much easier than running the straps through the inside. Have to do that soon.
