Roof rack build

Here's my home made roof top basket,




Can someone tell me what size bolts fit the threaded inserts in the roof gutters?

 

^ thanks

 

Lookin good

 

Damn that looks good man!!!!! Well done, saw that you were going to bolt it to the stock roof locations. Sub'd for the finished product! And I know you want to test it out so send it my way and Ill put it through its paces

 

cool!

 

You, sir, have some serious skills. Nice work!

Looks good man! Wouldn't mind one for my access cab.

 

Betting people would line up for those if you ever decided to sell them and the price was competitive.

 

dude that looks awesome, sub'd

 

Looks good! I'd like to see how you make the flanges that mount in the channel on the roof. That was the hardest part on mine, the front is a three dimensional curve that is just difficult to form metal to. Keep the pics coming!

 

Hoping to get some time in on the the mounts this weekend, we'll see how it turns out I could possibly make a few more, here's a few more things I hade built in the past
5.0L prerunner ranger, I built the complete truck including the suspension


Front winch for my F150

 

Nice looking basket I would rock it!!!! Give us an idea on what you would sell it for.

 

Placed where I want it, starting the mounts tonight

 

Looks good! Hopefully it's not too noisy. It came out great tho.

 

Road noise is easily cured by pushing the little + side of my volume button, works great for the tires

 

True!

 

Not my best work but it will work, planning on adding some gussets

 

^going to mount through the rubber or under?

 

On top of the rubber with spacers to keep it from compressing the rubber

 

Actually, the rubber has metal embedded in it. It's actually rather supportive. I say bolt right through it without a spacer. You'll need to take snips to the metal strip. I did anyway. It's dead center and you can't get a bolt around it. Also, it acts as a shock absorber.
