roof rack/basket

Featured Replies

Hi,

I bought the 84 Wagon from Suba9762. Thank you very kindly Mike.

 I am looking to add a roof rack/basket. Any ideas or suggestions as to make model or how to build and attach my own?

 

Thank you,

Mike

the mounts that hook to the rain gutters I would buy.  if you can weld you can make the basket out of anything.  my preference is getting cheap king sized bed frames on craigslist since they are good angle iron for nothing.  weld a square, put some expanded metal of some sort and some cross braces and your done.  if you don't mind them flat you could weld the upper bunk of a bunk bet onto the rails and call it a day.  take a few more straps that way, but its easy.

 

get a hold of Rerack.  I don't know if there are any down there, but they sell new, used, and custom racks up here.  might be worth it pay the shipping on some mounts and extras rather than buy new.  they have a member on this site, but I cant remember his user name.

Thank you and  very good advice.

I always hate throwing away bed frames cause the metal looks so useful.
