I saw some pics of these online for various vehicles so today I decided to make one myself. Everything I used was purchased from Lowes and cost about $70 with military discount. take a look....

I made a quick sketch, took a few measurements, bought what I needed and went to work. I used the OEM roof rack for now til I figure out a bracket system. It is currently setting and should be good to get Rhino Lined in an hour, then I can install it. It will sit angled foward and I also have some light mount things I also got from Lowes that are for something entirely different, hanging conduit or something. It is hard to picture but when it's done you will like it, I promise. If it is successful i will post a DIY so everyone else can make them if they want. Until I can afford or find a used Gobi for a decent price, this will have to do.
More pics coming soon.
