Roof rack/headache rack/ chase rack ideas and pics

[Jackrabbit41]

So Ive always wanted a roof rack, and headache rack, so I'm just wondering what y'all are runic? I mean more of the you built it stuff, cause ill be fabbin mine up. I love the look of them when they're are done right so hopefully I can do tha, but i also will use the headache rack as protection when hauling loads of steel and stuff like it. Id also like to put in some bed lights and a light bar on the roof rack. I'm just posting thing because Id love hear some ideas and see some pics. I can't find much on google images. Thanks 

 

also, ill build it so the roof rack will not be connected to the cab, it will be supported off of the headache rack, but I'll put the roof rack as low as possible because i hate seeing a gap in between the roof and the rack

Have you considered starting with a lumber/ladder rack for this idea? It should be easy to modify to suit your needs with some cutting/welding yourself or take it to a welding shop and spend $$ to have it done to your specs.

No matter what I'm doin it myself. I got a welder, cutting torch, tube bender, bandsaw, ect. Ill do it exactly how I want it. But that ladder rack is a good idea, it would be easy to change stuff around so I like it

especially if its a work related mod vs the "bro" truck  look. id look into modifying a ladder rack or similar, as half the work is already done.

 

this is a possible start
