Ok guys,
im really new here and have been pumped about a roof rack like most here. But am not ever going to pay 1,700 for a roof rack. I looked around locally and on the internet also and found several all steel racks that are quality for 500 bucks basket only. What if I had my father in law that owns a nice metal shop (Spin Tech mufflers and superior metal fabricators in riverside california) fab up some steel powdercoated universal mounting arms. Something that would allow us to use already available rack basket at good prices? we could have a bolt on design or my preferred option weld it on.
im trying to gauge interest in this, i sent him a picture and am waiting to hear back of ball park cost. But if if was under like 400 bucks, for all four arms I would jump on that personally. again I dont know what it would cost but am waiting to here back. That way we could have a nice clean mounting rack for under 1,000.00 bucks. you use a surco rack and you could do this for 600 to 700 bucks potentially. Again this is just me spit balling.
