(Update) disappointed with the hardware from tnutz I thought it would be more weather resistant but they already have surface rust on some of them and it hasn’t even rained. I’ll either have to paint them or look into getting some black anodized stainless hardware if that’s even a thing. Suggestions welcomed. Also.. I didn’t show this well but there is 3m double sided mounting tape under the front brackets to protect the paint and prevent movement. Just so you know 👍. Y’all are awesome! So glad y’all are enjoying this build! 🙏🙏

This is what KZfaq was meant to be for - informative and inspiring things like this. Another job well done!

skewer sticks and a piece of cardboard work just fine! genius!! how loud is the wind noise?

Best diy roof rack build yet!

The corrugated cardboard and the skewers gauge is BRILLIANT!

Love the diy contour gauge . What a great idea!

Great tip with the tape for the hole location.

OMG. I always learn something from your videos. Its like, "why didn't I think of that!". The two vertical tapings to show you where the bolt hole is under the metal you needed to drill is brilliant! Keep up the good work, it is surely appreciated.

Your builds are some of the coolest ones I've watched. You can tell great pride goes into your work and the craftsmanship is awesome!

Amazing build. I learned so much just watching this.

All I can say is wow. A really spectacular job, it gives me inspiration.

that is a work of art! great build, and I totally understand the desire to build it yourself. It isn't the $$$, it is the satisfaction of knowing you created that solution!

Outstanding build. You did a great job on this roof rack. Several really clever ideas on how to simplify some techniques for DYI. Part of the joy of building something like this is the build process. If you don’t like to build things DYI, you don’t appreciate the talented people like yourself. Really just a great job and you did it all with what you had to work with.

Dude, so glad this popped up in my video list. This time "the algorithm" worked. I'm going to do this for my 4th gen. Now all I need free time.

Love watching your wits being displayed

Great job!!! Thanks for sharing. Love the skewer trick.

So happy to see you using steel, I’ve been wanting to do this for a year now but don’t know how to weld aluminum and was never thrilled about bolting on the side rails to the feet.

Excellent work! It looks very professional and is sure to suit your needs much better than any expensive aftermarket product. It's just that my heart skips a beat every time a bare piece of sharp metal touches the paint on your car. Remember that a few rolls of masking tape will always be cheaper than a paintjob.

Awesome job, definitely inspiration for my next rack

Definitely doing this! Another awesome video. Thanks, Patrick!

Very impressive. I will remember both the tape trick and the one with cardboard and sticks :)

Great turn out. I think this is better then the mass produced roof rack. Looks really good

That thing looks incredible. Nice job.

Wow, genius. Congratulations.

Great job looks amazing! Your getting a lot better with the TIG. 🤘🏼👍🏼

Wow Patrick, you've outdone yourself sir. What a great, quality build with all the professional finishing touches.

I’m completing my roof rack build and as much as i want to put in those slots i just don’t trust myself, you’re really steady and precise with your cuts. Just have the wind deflector to do now

This is awesome I've been wanting to do prinsu rack myself. This looks beefier than a prinsu, excellent job dude

Fantastic work

Excelente y maravilloso trabajo!!!! Gracias

And I learned a few new hacks. Well done sir!

Excellent Job !!! So inspirational!

Man!!!! This freaking sweet!!!!

You always kill it. Great job man. Thank you.

Ooohhh, I like that tape trick!

Dude that rack turned out amazing. Keep up the great work. Gained a subscriber here

You sir are a genius. With the tape to find holes and skewer sticks… here’s a new follower.

Awesome build and great video coverage. I’m looking into a rack and rooftop tent for my ‘97 4Runner. 👍🏻

hermoso trabajo, felicidades.

Hell of a job! I think I will build my own now too. It's way better when you can build something just as good and can call it your own!

That turned out really nice!

that look really good

That turned out Super nice!

I'm a DIY guy, but this looks DI-WOW!!! Great job

That my friend is a damn fine job and a damn fine video as well! Thanks very much for sharing! I hope mine turns out as well!

You did a great job

I don’t own a Toyota but great for any vehicle rack! The cardboard-sticks is brilliant.

Great job! Looks amazing. Very informative and entertaining

Some very clever ideas in this video! Bravo!

That is CLEAN!!!!!

Your contour template was awesome 👍

Great tutorial!

That is one clean rack great work much props

Great work as usual! Love watching your builds. I switched out all my hardware with black oxide coated stainless steel from McMaster Carr

That's veery good! thank you!))

Great video, Patrick! Thanks for keeping it 💯

Great work man. The tape for bolt holes and cardboard contour gauge are some awesome tricks.

Wow it turned out awesome! I really enjoyed the process and like I said it looks so awesome. 👍🏻

Man your builds are impressive! You've got me trying to figure out how to build one of these for my vehicle.

At first I was like, that’s way too much work. But then when he finished, I was look 👀 niiiiice!! 😂 work of art brother. Great job.

That is such a great build!

Excelentee, quedó de lujo!!

Danggg, this is an awesome build. Nice skills and work. Just wish I had you as my neighbor to design and build couple good things. Again great work 💪🏽💪🏽

wow man, very nicely done. this looks amazing! saw your pinned comment about the hardware, even just straight up stainless steel would look nice on the black. thats what i have on my 2014 xv. definitely gonna look at the rest of your channel for more awesome content!

Great video! I like the roof rack.

looks great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barbecue skewers! That's so F smart!! Good on ya🥰🔥👍

wow !!! awesome

LET"S GO! That sir is a KZfaq video! That looks great!

awesome build. will done.

Dude you’re amazing 💪🏼

Man, clean build

Nicely done

Awsome!

I wanted to build a rack of this design. Good job 👍 Gave good insight with little tools.

Awesome 😍

Great job!! Turned out nice and save you a bunch of coin.

This is awesome!! Job well done 👏

5 star bud! The rack looks great and I really enjoyed the video. I completely agree with Kyle Murray's comment. This is what KZfaq was meant to be for.

Super nice. Will use some of your great idea to build mine. Thank you so much for sharing. I don’t have all of the good tools you have but I will try to use the aluminum rails instead of steel. Hope it work.

Duuuuude!!!!! Beautiful awesome job!

Wow! The difference between your previous rack and this one is HUGE. Following the body like that is a massive aesthetic upgrade. I suggest you purchase or convince a vendor to donate a plasma cutter to your channel. You have not let the long grinder cuts stop you, but anything to speed up the process gives more time for more projects, and that's a win for me, on my couch watching your content. You can get really clean cuts using hardboard as in template. If you plan the cuts, any errant moves ends up on the waste side. I purchased a cheap 50 amp on Amazon for around 250, and it's already paid for itself. I Knew I would need slots on my gas skid project, and the thought of drilling and connecting all the holes was daunting. Please keep the great content coming.

There are so many really, really good Pointers and Constructing Details in this video and also your videos on 270-degree Awnings, especially the "Best DYI Awning" one. I'm going 'On the Road' in mid-2024 with my SUV to tour US Rout-One from Maine to Key West, the Gulf Coast, and the Rockies. I'll be doing a Travel-Log series for U-Toob focusing on historic locations. I'm thinking 12 to 18 months. I'll construct your Awning this winter (2023) and your Roof-Rack and Ladder next spring. My Build-Out will be via 2" Corning Ridged Insulation Foam as seen on N0MAD's U-Toob channel. You, and a handful of other presenters, provide a massive wealth of knowledge to us, the community of DYIers. Thanks so very much for your videos. They're worth MUCHO-ALLOT...........

Well done man!

Amazing work!

Hello barbecue skewers very clever great job.

Nicely done!!

Man that looks great! Your tig welding has gotten really good too!

about to start my SAS with my mig 205DS yes welder Great video I also plan on building a rack like this for my suburban. Thanks

Ridiculously bad ass! Great job! 💪🏻🔥

Well done bro, I have been contemplating a build like this myself, great job bro,

Came out really nice. I’ve been thinking of building one myself. I need to learn how to weld 😂 awesome work!
