I did this from my phone so forgive me.

This has been on the back burner for a long time but it is starting to take shape. It all started with the 1st gen rollbar and I thought it looked cool.

Then I noticed that it had threaded inserts after I acquired one and the wheels started turning.

Then I found this thread and while it wasn't exactly what I wanted but it was getting there.

The uncut rack wouldn't fit so I waited to see whether the od clamp would make it wide enough. It didn't but it was really close so I dragged out the grinder and made it fit. I also need room for a vertical piece to fit the seat belt inserts.
Here are the progress pics.

First concept attempt

And then the more current pics from the roof rack thread.





So the idea is to weld plate along the sides of the rack to provide a side rail, get rid of sharp edges, and give me a place to attach the supporting frame.

I would like the support to only come from the rollbar with no legs towards the back. I think I have all of the tiedowns I need but I might toss a small set on the rack.

Also doing the lights while I am back there. I found these on amazon and they seem like they would work quite well.

Want to put 4 on the roof angled down (2 each side) and 2 in the door, and then 2 on the underside of the rack somehow.
