    M1009 roof rack

    I like your design ideas. I eventually would like to incorporate more jerry can capacity and a swing-out rack. more or less a special forces type looking vehicle. I found another top from a '91 Blazer with sliding windows and I had the idea of installing a mg ring with a pintle to handle a .50...

    M1009 roof rack

    I don't like your tone, so you can wait...;-) However, for the rest of you that are interested, I will be completing the ladder and the rest of the rack bits when the weather dries up. For now, it's a rack, it does rack stuff as a good rack should. I can climb all over my rig without one. But...

    M1009 roof rack

    This is the rack you need then. You can have a soft top or no top. You may need to make some modifications to the soft-top attachments but that's about all. That would look sweet set up like that.

    M1009 roof rack

    I started on restoring the rack today, did some sanding and wire-wheeling with the grinder. Tomorrow, I'm going to finish that and do a little welding for the new CB antenna mount and the front basket. I'm extending the rack about 24' over the cab and the installing lights and a remote Golite...

    M1009 roof rack

    Ok, had to take a pic... Picked this rack up today for next to nothing. All steel, expanded metal basket floor, built like a masonary outhouse. It's resting on my 'custom' 2 x 4" spruce mounts for now until I fab up some sill plate mounts for between the top and the box.
