Ive been brainstorming about a roof rack all week. I have no metal work experience.
My Astro 94 awd ext. has a 'Naked' roof.
I got 4 'closed bar holders' brackets used for 2x4's
- these will be the feet and mounting points to the roof.
4 u-bolts with lock nuts
- I will drill holes for these to mount length wise with the 'closed bar holders'
2 6' galvanized steel pipes 1"
- for the cross bars that will be fastened down with the U-bolts.
I would like to fasten this to the roof with plusnuts.
Does anyone have any input which ones I should buy?
Is there certain areas of the roof that are stronger anchor points for mounting?
Or any other input regarding my design?
Thank you!!!!!!!
