Tacoma aluminum roof rack build

So I’ve been working on this project for almost a year now for my double cab off road. This is the 2nd rack I’ve made, the first is almost identical but made out of steel. I’ll be listing it for sale sometime soon.
I’m basing this rack off the look of the Gobi stealth rack. I won’t go into too much detail, but I’m using front runner slats for the center and a rhino rack track system to mount the rack. I’ll be making a wind deflector as soon as I get the rack back from powder coating

 

Nice Rack... But seriously, I like the look of it. Welds look killer. Do you have a picture of it from a side profile on the truck?

 

Wow, impressive!, is it hard welding aluminum?, I'm curious it this is something someone could learn (the welding part) on his own?, thanks

 

I’ll post more pics when I get everything back from powder coat. And I myself am not a welder by trade, but I think the process was particularly easy. The hardest part for me was getting everything cut, bent and measured correctly. I basically clamped everything together and tacked everything and passed it off to a welder

 

Just got the rack back from powder coat, still need to make a wind deflector. Overall I think it looks great
