Reminds me of my late father's knack for determining a need for something, designing then constructing it. Great job, "Handyman"!

[@danielantonio5402]

Great job.... great song!!!!!!!!!

[@WizardsBastard]

Google is listening to my conversations again. I was just talking about building a replacement rack, now your video pops up. Excellent fabrication work!

[@leonlamparski]

Thanks for sharing, nice song, and the project, man that's was a looking for.

[@augyg316669]

It looks like it turned out very nice. I probably would not have used EMT since it bends so easily, but your fab work was quite good. Keep on!

[@jcat5150]

Thanks for the share. I never thought of using EMT for this type of construction. Looks clean and sturdy.

[@fuertep2do]

Excellent job that was so great 👍

[@mzpriss33]

I built one myself and I didn't need a bender. Just used the already bent pieces.. Painted with truck bed paint and used metal grate for the bottom.

[@dtigert233]

How did you mount it? I've been wanting to build one but I'm not sure on mounting options for a 14 jeep wrangler

[@ThisTall]

That looks pretty good! Not sure I’d trust rivets over time with 150lb up there though.

[@juanfigueroa6740]

I like it, how you did a easy, professional, really well done video, from start to finish, good job brother why people make it, so complicated and try to show all and at the end show Nothing, I'm looking forward to copy your stile, thanks keep it up, well done!!!!!

[@MarshallSt1]

I have been wanting to build a roof rack for my cucv and I'm still debating on what to use but I really like this idea. I may build one for my girlfriends Jeep first to try it out......haha

[@e.s.l5861]

Excellent job

[@user-os5gp6vk4q]

That turned out great. Nice job man. I was wandering how well it's holding up & what kinda load strength it can carry without bending the pipe? Also how well the rivets are holding up over time & wear. I really like the idea of using EMT it's very light. I'm thinking of using the same materials.

[@angelopezz]

Nice work buddy... your pods ligths are amazing lol

[@baremetalbandit]

That is a great roof rack, Good job bro!!!!!!

[@fookingsog]

Very Cool!....I probably would have painted it with appliance epoxy which is an ultra durable paint with only one coat!

[@TravelingManVan]

Nice work man. Might have to try this out.

[@batman15472]

Awesome job! Been designing plans for my truck as well, except gonna mig weld it together. How well does the conduit tube hold up? It is something I've considered also because it's cheaper than grade a seamless tubing. Very cool bro, rock on!

[@naviambigram]

Good job. I like it.

[@MrTacticalwolf]

is the conduit pipe? if so how does it hold up so far looks great btw

[@NigelNaughton]

Looks awesome! I made one almost exactly like that about 10 years ago for my Vanagon Syncro but sold it with the car. Now time to make a new one for a Land Cruiser I recently purchased. I welded mine and it lasted forever. Just have to watch out for the fumes when welding that stuff. You are in Mn? Me too.

[@tonylocks28]

VERY NICE JOB !

[@benderright]

good job man. turned out pretty damn good.

[@laptop266]

awesome job how did you install it to the roof race bolt it or some other way?

[@dinodo8708]

Wow, you made it looked so easy. Very impressive. Love it and thanks for sharing. How much weight can you load on that thing?

[@gs750chopper]

Slick I like it. Wanna build one for a neon.

[@_Tim_Allan_]

7 year update. How long did it last? Do you still use it?

[@user-os5gp6vk4q]

Did you mount lights up yet? I'd love to see a follow up vid on your progress :-) when you have time.

[@Nooch2222]

Awesome work! What size rivets did you use to tie it all together?

[@americansniper5290]

the handyman. Is this strong enough to use as sleeping bed,in a camping day. ? I weight 175 pounds.

[@2010jfin]

very clever; nice work!

[@1ofhis518]

excellent job man

[@TinManisbugginout]

How did you connect the bends to the next piece in line to make the closed circumference?

[@HiSpeedDrifter]

This is nice. You could make it with PVC if you don't have all that pipe bending stuff. I made a contoured wooden roof rack and people always ask how I made it.

[@jcat5150]

Pics? Video? I built a stitch and glue kayak a few years back. I've been kicking around making a glass on wood box to sit on my Thule bars, next to my kayak. Would look cool in stitch and glue or cedar strips (depending on how ambitious I am...lol)

[@keldsrensen1572]

Nice job ..well done

[@liandiaz728]

a true do it yourself !!!

[@Honda759Racing]

How did you mount the cage to the top of your jeep?

[@Wannaridebikes]

how much for you to make me one since i dont have a bender i will send size of my tuck

[@qdriddick]

looks great!

[@lostinny07]

How did you connect the bottom pieces you bent at 90 degree?

[@TangoCharlieAlpha]

WOW! You could sell those!! How much for the build total??

[@seefolstrom3825]

how did you mount it to the stock rack?

[@williamfullman2639]

Excellent

[@shaegrover9516]

Good use of the floor grating but from my personal experience bending round tubing and welding it creates a very poor bond. My experience is from awning frames. It's good enough but don't step on any one weld specifically.

[@3093Andrew]

How has that held up??

[@carlosob9919]

Nice

[@moralesfinster]

did you uses a welder?

[@kimberlysuzannemoore]

nice job

[@shanebuckles9134]

this is amazing I wish you would have done a full vid for us dummy's but great build I want one

[@unapro3]

If you need any more directions than are in this video, then I would suggest you don't actually have the skills to make one.

[@shanebuckles9134]

unapro3 wow I would put my skill up against yours any day smart guy

[@shanebuckles9134]

unapro3 my point was your an idiot to assume that me asking for a full video would mean I have no skill and I don't need to know you to know your skill or to know that only the weak and sad attack people to make them self feel smarter this in itself shows me your skill

[@kokoarikakakiki]

Josss 👍

[@timothythomas1345]

THAT IS GREAT !!!!

[@christophervela5447]

I think everyone would benefit from getting building instructions

[@rb30athorn]

where can I buy tubing?

[@Arthur-Silva]

Well done!

[@mariodimai]

good job

[@billab0ng83]

That is handy.

[@ngamaintence]

nice ......

[@obi-wonchubboni2362]

Damn I wish I saw this before I bought a welder and a bunch of equipment to make a roof rack. Lol

[@david612mpl]

Obi-Won Chubboni I did this rack for cheap a few years ago (trying to reused extra material from my basement lol) but yours will be very good !! Good luck !

[@obi-wonchubboni2362]

@@david612mpl thanks. And the one you made came out awesome. Great job.

[@Wannaridebikes]

i would like one real bad if you make it i can assemble it ....

[@likits1999]

Chicken soup out of chicken shit. Awesome engineering.

[@shawniscoolerthanyou]

Uh, yeah. That's why it's cool.

[@ADMIND3R]

should have made it bigger, looks tiny, not gunna be very strong eithier with that al..
