lol... bought Chads Roof Rack (Grant's "G'sevo" old rack). it is a 3 piece rack and took the center section out, its just laying up there now for idea's

thanks Chad...

 

Nice rack but one ****ed up grille! lol

 

That might have some potential. I've never thought about that.

 

looks awesome...how much higher will it be with the mounting brackets

 

looks good man!

 

Looks good, I like it

 

i like it def have some room for some more lights on top of that thing

 

ya working on that...


have 2 options i am playing around with..

1) alum mounts with reinforcing the roof like i did the roof rack on grants cap..(about 1" or so how grants truck looked)

2) getting a 1998-2001 like roof rail system. cutting it down and putting the end caps back on it for a clean look and mounting it to the rails. then reinforcing the roof.. (as high as a rails on an explorer...

 

thats the plan.. hehehehe

it wont be holding a tire just like bags and stuff... tire is going in the bed on an angle tire mount

 

I like it really low like that

 

well to sit on the mounts it will be at least like 1" higher it isnt anything to stress about.. ever remember grants truck with the rack mounted will be the same system being my dad is the one that made the mounts

 

Looks good stone. I vote for a 01-03 conversion!

 

not bad!

dont do an 01-03 edge conversion, splash's are cool all on their own!

 

I don't really like the looks of it on a stepside. If it won't be holding a tire, just bags, it kinda screams out "tourist" which makes me dislike it even more.

 

lookin good

 

hell no... 93-97 FTW

envision 12 lights

our roofs can NOT handle tires even with the reinforcing i will be doing.. unless i go hogwild and put a roll cage in it.. which in time it will have..

personally i love the look... and its somewhere to mount lights.. come on winks, i have to have lights!!!

 

i like it

 

thanks Billy

 

it is going to look goood up there.

 

I've seen them with tires on them with no reinforcement, its doable! I may be swayed with the lights, but with no tire.... I dunno.

 

thats gonna look good....

it will be a good mounting point for a shovel, high lift jack, and all those freakin lights...

 

even the rack alone is bowing the roof just sitting up there...

Deffinally gonna reinforce the roof...

 

thanks Chad. looks alot smaller with out the center section eh? lol



ya thats the plan shovel, lights maybe high jack that might be in the bed idk yet..

and LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS haha.... KC mania!!!

 

lol...

 

you know your jealous
