Did you utilize the old rack system to mount it on the roof ?

yea for now. Im going to bend tube and run it down to the frame after i build a bender. I was worried a little about strength with it attached to the original rack but we were just our for a week offroading on some rough trails with probably over 300 lbs on it and it didnt budge (wouldnt recommend that though lol).

how heavy is that rack? And how did you attach it to the factory roof rack? I have my rack about 70% done. I put it on the backburner for now, but need to finish it out and get it mounted. I was going to use the original roof rack as a mount as well. Mine weighs about 30lbs so far, just need to do some finish welding and figure out what to do for the floor of it.

mine probably only weighs about 50 lbs, i tried to make it as light as i couldnt while still having it as strong as i wanted. I just used the clamps u bolt on to attach it to the original rack, i used 6 of them.
