I've been thinking for a while now that I'd either build a roof rack or maybe go the prebuilt route. I know Yakima and Thule make quite a few configurations with interchangeable attachments, but I'd like to see what you guys & gals have on your rigs before I make up my mind.
 
Here is the one i built for my K5. Its a halo rack and super low profile. Its mainly to keep things from sliding off and to have something to tie down too.

I just saw this in a magazine the other day. Wonder if they sell a universal one without the Jeep specific brackets. Comes powder coated and all .

Yes, I agree. I prefer to make/weld my own "stuff" when possible. I kind of have an idea in my head of what I'm leaning toward, but I want to see what other rigs are using before I commit.
 
This is built out of 2 sizes of EMT (cheap, light, galvanized, bends with regular hand tools). A hole saw in the larger tube lets the smaller tube fit inside so there's no fishmouth or tough fittings to do.
