Many of you might remember our attempt at prototyping a new roof rack. We built it out of all flat and the prototype was WAY to heavy and the idea just wasn't coming together.
This was our the design we failed at making into a viable product:
So we finally decided to hit the drawing board again!
Our #1 issue was to be able to make it modular to allow for being broken down for shipping. Our last Low profile rack would cost us $175 for UPS ground :icon_sad:
After some brain storming, we came up with a nice hybrid idea between our old tube design and our new flat steel idea:
Possible options:
No Lightbar
Led Lightbar
Halogen Lightbar
Adjustable TireMount
Hi-Lift Mount
Half Sides (for front or rear section)
Full Sides
Middle Extension (for full length)
Mounts for different vehicles (TJ/YJ/CJ/LJ/JK/ZJ/KJ/ect)
Turn into metal:
The hoop is a bolt on deal, the rack bolts together in the middle.
These are some optional sides we are kicking around:
