    Google is listening to my conversations again. I was just talking about building a replacement rack, now your video pops up. Excellent fabrication work!

    Reminds me of my late father's knack for determining a need for something, designing then constructing it. Great job, "Handyman"!

    I built one myself and I didn't need a bender. Just used the already bent pieces.. Painted with truck bed paint and used metal grate for the bottom.

      How did you mount it? I've been wanting to build one but I'm not sure on mounting options for a 14 jeep wrangler

    Thanks for the share. I never thought of using EMT for this type of construction. Looks clean and sturdy.

    It looks like it turned out very nice. I probably would not have used EMT since it bends so easily, but your fab work was quite good. Keep on!

    That looks pretty good! Not sure I’d trust rivets over time with 150lb up there though.

    I like it, how you did a easy, professional, really well done video, from start to finish, good job brother why people make it, so complicated and try to show all and at the end show Nothing, I'm looking forward to copy your stile, thanks keep it up, well done!!!!!

    I have been wanting to build a roof rack for my cucv and I'm still debating on what to use but I really like this idea. I may build one for my girlfriends Jeep first to try it out......haha

  • @fookingsog

  • @user-os5gp6vk4q

    That turned out great. Nice job man. I was wandering how well it's holding up & what kinda load strength it can carry without bending the pipe? Also how well the rivets are holding up over time & wear. I really like the idea of using EMT it's very light. I'm thinking of using the same materials.

  • @HiSpeedDrifter
    @HiSpeedDrifter Před 8 lety

    This is nice. You could make it with PVC if you don't have all that pipe bending stuff. I made a contoured wooden roof rack and people always ask how I made it.

    • @jcat5150
      @jcat5150 Před 8 lety +1

      Pics? Video? I built a stitch and glue kayak a few years back. I've been kicking around making a glass on wood box to sit on my Thule bars, next to my kayak. Would look cool in stitch and glue or cedar strips (depending on how ambitious I am...lol)

  • @TinManisbugginout
    @TinManisbugginout Před 8 lety +1

    How did you connect the bends to the next piece in line to make the closed circumference?

  • @batman15472
    @batman15472 Před 11 lety

    Awesome job! Been designing plans for my truck as well, except gonna mig weld it together. How well does the conduit tube hold up? It is something I've considered also because it's cheaper than grade a seamless tubing. Very cool bro, rock on!

  • @shaegrover9516
    @shaegrover9516 Před 6 lety

    Good use of the floor grating but from my personal experience bending round tubing and welding it creates a very poor bond. My experience is from awning frames. It's good enough but don't step on any one weld specifically.

  • @NigelNaughton
    @NigelNaughton Před 11 lety

    Looks awesome! I made one almost exactly like that about 10 years ago for my Vanagon Syncro but sold it with the car. Now time to make a new one for a Land Cruiser I recently purchased. I welded mine and it lasted forever. Just have to watch out for the fumes when welding that stuff. You are in Mn? Me too.
