It's not finished yet. I will be sure to post some pictures after I mount it to my vehicle.

Picked up the rack on Saturday. Seems to be built very well and installed nicely to the existing rails on the roof. It measures 54" wide X 84" long X
6" tall. It's very similar to the old Con-Ferr racks. Thank you, Maderita, for the link!

Not a permanent one and only if what I'm carrying would need a floor. I'll probably just be hauling large storage tubs filled with misc. stuff most of
the time and spare tires.

Baja Designs is in San Marcos, almost to Vista off Mission/S. Santa Fe ave. They are the off road lighting masters these days if you want to mount a
pair of LED or HID lamps up there. They have combo patterns that mix spot with wider driving beams so you can get a combo distance and area
illuminated.
I recently was given a tour of the facility. Ask for 'Bailey'.

I used to make parts for them.

Sweet! They have been into motorcycle off road racing so much, the automotive side was not well known. They hope to change that. Those little 4"
'Squadron' and 'XL' LED lamps put out as much light (or more) as the giant 8" La Paz HID lamps!

Bob53,
Glad to hear that the info and link were helpful. Looks like a great choice of a super strong, well made rack for your rig. Good photos showing the
details and how much welding went into making your rack.
Just an impression (not based on any evidence): The rack looks bulletproof durable. The weak link may be the factory roof rails. I'd check the roof
rail mounting screws periodically for tightness. Dirt roads and washboards find a way of revealing the weak links.
