Test build

Post by Gumby »

I have been toying around with the plan to build a roof rack. So this weekend I did just that, I had no idea how it would turn out being new to welding and such. So here is the finished test product and fit install :D

Test fit..

Just pure Bad :fsj:

I totally had forgotten my son had this monster in the house, it was my wifes idea to get a jeep that would fit it. So I went searching for this one and it fit almost perfectly. Now I just have to get my skills and ideas out and build the real deal full scale.

Welcome back Matt, hey that was my intention. Sometimes we get frustrated with our rigs that we get rid of them. So I thought I would try a mock up of what I will build for the waggy. :evil:
