SOLD!
I've decided to sell my roof rack project for pennies on the dollar. With an expanding family I really have no time to devote to this in the next couple of years.
I designed the side pieces and had them waterjetted out of 1/4" thick 6061-T6 aluminum. This material is nearly 3 times stronger than mild steel for the same weight.
It is designed to hold up to 11 cross-bars made of aluminum extrusions (80/20 or similar brand). Everything is metric just like the vehicle itself.
Air-Dam support is made out of https://8020.net/20-2040.html Main extrusions are made out of https://8020.net/shop/40-4020.html
Weights are as follows:
Side Pieces - 12.5lbs - Both sides are included.
Air Dam Support- 2lbs - 1 is included. You need only one.
Main Extrusion (per piece) - 3.3lbs - 3 are included, can fit up to 11.
Stainless Hardware (estimate) - 2lbs - You'll need to buy more and I can provide part#s.
Mounts - You need to figure this out. I would avoid welding to the side pieces.
Air-Dam - You need to figure this out. I planned to make one out of 1/4" thick HDPE.
You could have a working roof rack that's strong and functional for as low as 35lbs of weight on your roof, and less than a quarter of the price of Front Runner or similar ones.
$150 firm + actual shipping cost.
Shipping could be anywhere from$75 to $100 $55-$60 based on an quick quote from Fedex UPS, but send me your address for actual quote.
HDPE air-dam not included.
