Safari Rack

[Frickenwirthles]

Hey guys... I'm thinking about building myself a safari rack for my 88' Burban, and i was wondering if anybody has any close up pics/ designs for one that i could get some ideas from. Thanks in advance.

These are the best pics of the one I built for my '77 (not very close up). Maybe they will give you some ideas. There are more pictures here. Too bad I sold that sub. I really miss it.

Where you at in North Idaho? I grew up in Sandpoint and went to college in Moscow.

I'm down in Lewiston, just 30 minutes south of moscow if you don't remember
thanks for the pics!



btw...how is the rack secured to the roof? is it just welded on? if it isn't...is it removable?

I built 6 feet that were about 3 inch square. Under those I put some 1/2" rubber down, then I bolted through those to the roof. I tried to keep them near the edges where the roof has strength. Then I siliconed around the bolts good when I put them in.

I guess it would be removable, but then you would have a bunch of holes in the roof.

And, how can you forget Lewiston with the pulp mill smell? Nice area though.

Thanks a lot guys....and as far as wheeling places....the only real action near me is up in the Craig Mountains. It's about 45 min from Lewiston....that's the only real place i know of real close to me.

Thanks for the link..

Thanks for the link, I bought a set of the Con-ferr roof mounts and used a set of 1" square tubing pieces to hold my canoe and kayaks on top of my 1990 K5 but couldn't remember where I got them.

I have been looking for quite awhile for the website. Thanks alot.

Looking to put a safari type rack ontop of my project when I get to it.
