Homebuilt Roof Rack

Well the rack is finally painted and lights mounted. I need to wire the switch and relay and I'll be done...

That looks as good as anything I've seen sold by the big name manufacturers. Well done - :clapsmile

Nice Fab'n stomperxj, looks great.

Curious how you ran your wiring into the vehicle. I need to rewire my Hella's and rear spots.

Great Fab Skills. I do a bit of welding myself. I am out of ideas for welding mods on my truck. Recently I built a swing away tire carrier for my Taco. But when it was all said and done i realized I didn't like it. So i went back to the same way I stored my tire before......:Mechanic:

Thanks for the comments guys...

I drilled a hole in the lower tube at each end on the passenger side, ran the wires thru the tube, then down to thru the hatch on the back... I'm going to silicone the holes for moisture proofing...

Thats how i have mine currently, occasionally in the rain it will run down the wiring past the hatch seal and wet the carpet or gear i have placed there.

I'm looking for an alternative, which is why i asked. Havent found the "right" pass through bulkhead yet. But i remember a thread here recently...that i didnt get to read thoroughly, guess i should check it out.

I ran my wires under the weatherstripping so they run in an upside down "U" shape. I'll keep an eye out for wet spots though

Use a rubber wiring cover from a Jeep Cherokee. It connects the factory rear hatch to the body. Should provide the water proofing you need and hide the wires on the inside above the headliner.
