Yea with all the crazy mess with being medically retired from the Marines has made my life off the walls. But with it all almost done I am back!

 

[Macland]

Crazy man, glad your back. Everything ok health wise?

 

[Deadpilot]

Yea for the most. I have some issues from my past deployments and the things I did out there. And all that caused a bunch of issues.

They've been great. I would recommend they've lasted over two years and been great. They do great off road coming down those hills when ya need them and do great on the street as well.
Yea I've been planning my 4wd sas swap for awhile now and have the down time now and some extra cash so maybe it happened this year

 

[gorillamel]

^Oooooo! DO IT! and post photos of the progress. Everyone loves some hardcore X pron.

 

[BigTim55]

[Deadpilot]

Some more pics. Almost done with it. Just have to put some expanded metal down and some mounts for lights and few other things and finish weld it off. Hardest part was getting the mount alignments right. Let me know what ya think. Oh btw there is room for 6 fuel/water cans on the back

Update on the rack. Expanded metal has been put it and mainly all the finishing welding is done. So its sitting ontop of the X and has a couple fitment issues with holes lining up but it bolted down and did a road test with it. No extra noise amd you really dont know its there minus the tighter turns at higher speeds there is alitle more body roll but that is normal. Ill post pics when I get home

So the roof rack is all finished.

[Macland]

That looks great man. I like how much usable space there is.

 

[Deadpilot]

Thanks. I may still do some more work to it like put some expanded metal on the side so its more like a basket and put a top on the front part for a lockable storage area up there. But right now its good I think. I should be focusing on my swap. But yea...

Have you looked around to what tool boxes/lock boxes will fit on the rack?

Looks nice.

Get rid of all the halogen lights and get yourself some LEDs.
