Our GX470 was in dire need of a roof rack. We needed something quick fast and in a hurry. Most of the after market racks were on back order, or I didn’t like them much. So why not build our own?
That is exactly what I did.
I found a brilliant design on GXOR FB group.
This rack came out really strong. I can walk on it and have mounted a decent size RTT on it. Although there is debate on the actual working capacity of this rack.
Designed by Kory Rasmussen.
Parts List.
3) 10’ sections of 1 5/8” x 13/16 Unistrut
4) 4 hole angle brackets ( these will be the corners of the rack)
8) or more 2 hole angle brackets (depends on how many x bars you use 2 per bar)
60ish) Strut nuts 3/8” thread.
10ish) 3/8” x. 1/2” bolts ( I diverged from this and used 3/8”x 1” my method)
50ish) 3/8” x 1” bolts (these connect all you lego pieces together)
60ish) washers
30) 3/8” lock washers (if you follow my method, you could also use lock nuts)
3-4) cans of paint
Dimensions
Overall 80” x 39 3/4”
Front and rear bars 39 5/8”
