hey has anyone ever built a custom roof rack i am a fabricator and was wondering any cool ideas or tips to atach a roof rack to the roof is it sound to put weight and such and any other cool ideas u guys have for some custom fabrication things. thanks

 

What's wrong with any of the existing roof racks?
Don't forget aerodynamics on your design.
I have to eaton this. Sounds interesting.

 

well i just kinda wanna be different u know some tig welded stainless rack like safari style and what not its be cool to attach different racks custom to different caro haha like a bike ,or a welder, surfboard,....or a mother in law u know change it up

 

rack for mother in law will be easy. auto (speed dependent) or manual release ejection seat mounted on the rack is fine. but seriously speaking if you see other attachment from a different car post a pic and see what the community thinks. i myself would prefer a trail hitch attachment (modular) type.

 

let me find the business card, i think it's still in my car from last year's Mini in the Mountains. There was a guy that was up there with a lifted countryman that does custom roof racks. He did a safari style on his countryman with some large spots on it, looked pretty bad ***.

 

And what kinda stuff do u wanna pull with a hitch cause I was actually thinkin of makin on too

 

can you make one that can pull an RV? i was thinking of a stable bike rack and then it can be converted to carry skis, snowboards, and maybe gopeds? i can't thinked of anything new besides from the racks that are already existing. how far is chino hills from san diego? never mind its about 118 miles away. from time to time i go to los angeles maybe i can swing by when you are going to fabricate anything for mini cooper. obtw where are you going with this whole thing? are you soliciting for ideas and then fabricate for sale?

 

sorry for the delay haha this is what i came up with its a stout bike rack that can be remved and a very descrete hitch hangs out and now i can build countless attachments for a cargo rack cooler bbq go ped motorcycle trailer.

 

and i did a custom magnalflow exhaust so i only have one muffler so i can build a super srong hitch on the side cause theres an open space under there

 

this is cool. post more pics when you have them.
