Can we let this OLD THREAD from 2009 die out now, or are you guys too busy circle jerking to the pics of what you can't have.

Why don't you mind your own business, if you don't like the thread don't read it.

If any of you actually read the entire thread you would have seen this from the Original Poster:

Wish we had better news, but you are more than welcome to use the design to make your own, or have one made. Any good welder should be able to make quick work of the rack. Probably stronger and cheaper than any dealer could do on commercial racks.

FYI if you decide to build your own, to keep the mounts from rusting near the roof rails, have the tabs you use to slip under the rail for clamping, cut and tapped from aluminum. Stainless bolts help too, as does a thin layer of rubber stripping at the base of the rack where the rails meet the metal leg of the rack. In the photos the center support leg did not have rack mounts, only the ends, I would strongly suggest adding a mount to the center of your own design. This was the only version we made without them.

Doc is right, this is an OLD thread. Everything we had on the rack is long gone. I did my best to find the measurements we had on file, no luck. It's been so long that I don't even have the same PC in the shop to check on old file reference. Sorry.
