burb roof rack

[AKbigsub]

I thought I would share some pics of my mounts for the roof rack. They were bent to conform to the contour of the burb's roof. I use fender washers on the inside to ensure that the bolts don't pull through. I applied a liberal amount of marine sealer/adhesive between the mounts and the roof and have had absolutely no problems with leaks.

huh not bad!

with that much surface area you will be able to hold a ton!!


i just had to simple racks on mine mounted to plates (1 1/2"x5") installed by the po, and not even on the braces, the only time i dented the roof i had 5 4x sheets of plywood, 25 4x8 of drywall, and a good 50 studs, even then it wasn't that bad.

so no worrys for you!

you make the rack or buy it?

Looks good. My rack is bolted directly to the roof.

I bought it from a guy who built it for his burb just before he totalled it. Paid two bills for it. A good deal considering he showed me a receipt for the brackets totalling $125.
