Hi all as some may know I just purchased a roof rack off SC1, standard type most use I think an ARB copy but thats not the point.
First problem I can see with the design is all the uprights that separate to top loop from the lower loop act as a cup an will collect water there
and rust. What have others done ,just left it ?
First thing Ive done is to drill two holes to allow all this water to escape, once I treat the rust and repaint it it should be OK.
for anyone with this style rack highly recommend you check for rust. either fill it up with silicone or drill some holes.
doesn't look like a light bar will fit across the front without fabricating some kind of bracket.
Cutting the top bar off the rear of the rack and welding in a roller on the lower loop to assist in loading long lengths of steel.
Shovel bracket presents no problem, awning bracket may take a bit more thought.
Very happy with the bar its very sturdy, final colour will be charcoal metallic.
Hopefully I'll have it ready for cod opening , but thats a big ask at this stage.
Totally agree with SC1 about fitting it using blankets on the roof, thats a challenge in itself lol
