P1000m5 Roof Rack for P1000-5

[kemnitzeod]

I debated about a roof rack vs the hardtop. After going elk hunting with 2 adults and 2 kids, a spare tire, weapons, rucksacks and a 2 wheel big game cart, I decided I needed a roof rack. I had one built of 1 inch aluminum, I used GSpower 175 roll bar clamps to mount the roof rack. I topped the roof rack with 1/2 inch plywood. Being in AZ, I don't deal with a lot of rain, so a plywood top works for me. I now have room for my off road bumper jack, spare tire, big game cart, and if I want to I can sit on top of this with a spotting scope. For the price, $700 vs a factory hardtop, I think I came out ahead on the deal. Enclosed are some pictures of what it looks like.

Sweet! I've wondered why more don't do that.

Very nice. I did one too, but it's pretty basic.

The aluminum is probably lighter than the plywood. I haven't loaded up the top yet, and if I do, there are some trails I'm going to have to be very careful about. Here's looking out my back yard onto Ft Huachuca. 6 Antelope walked by this morning.

I made my roof/rack in two pieces. In case I want to get wild or haul large stuff

Do you think you could just attach a rack like this over the poly roofs?

That’s doable, but I’m already tight on height clearance for both the garage and enclosed trailer
