Nice looking truck! You could also add a couple flood lights in the back to help you see and be seen better at night.

Not scared, more like annoyed.

Come on! What the hell now!! https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/new-virus-unrelated-to-coronavirus-is-identified-in-china-as-covid-outbreaks-continue-51660138031

Isn’t that how all projects/builds go? 🤣

Now I understand why some people were telling me about it. Thank you for explaining it!

They taste good damnit! 🤣

Ive been told I can do a rubi crawler, but the rubicon already has a 4:1 tcase. Unless you’re doing a dedicated crawler I personally don’t see a need for that. Now if it doesn’t have the 4:1 case, then I would do that for sure.

For the auto it depends on the year. I have an 06 with the 42rle and it is annoying, but not a deal breaker. O/D ratio is horrible and I tend to turn it off on surface streets so it isn’t hunting for gears all the time. If you are planning to go bigger than 33s you will want a rubicon unless you...

Have a fun and safe trip!

Sadly that has never been more true than right now. I have had people tell me I can ignore the political crap because of white privilege. These are the same people that cried on election night when trump won. That night solidified for me the fact that votes don’t really count because the some of...

That type of news story is the reason I stopped watching the news years ago. It’s all a controlled narrative and I have better things to do with my time. Just like many have pointed out here, they are like a magician keeping us looking at one hand while the other is the one that will hurt us. I...

Welcome from NW Florida!

Looking at the weight and price comparison, I think I will just stick with the steel and just weld it up like many of you suggested in the first place. At least with steel I can put some things up there if I need to.

It’s not going to cover the whole roof, it’s only 48 front to back and 55 1/4 wide.

@Sharkey Thanks for that question! That made me look at the plans I drew up several weeks back. I was planning for 1x96x0.063 aluminum square stock and would cost me around $166 before tax. The steel stock is 1/2x72x1/16 which would be $140. The weight difference is negligible, a little over a...

I also think that using bolts at all the joints will not look as clean. I have also read reviews that say racks that are bolted together tend to be noisy.

It’s mainly to light up the area when the wife and I go camping. A secondary use will be while I volunteer for search and rescue when I get back out to SD. I figure by using aluminum angle I can keep the weight down so I’m not putting a lot of weight up high like I would using steel angle.

That may have to be the route I have to go if brazing won’t hold up. That’s where I’m stumped. Googling it has told me the equivalent of nothing. I’ve seen where many say it is and many say it isn’t. It’s going to be bolted to the cross bars that are on my roof, but wanted the other joints...

So I’m designing a roof rack for my TJ. It will be aluminum and only used for a few lights and maybe a shovel and axe. Would brazing hold up to this? I don’t have access to everything needed to weld aluminum, but the stuff needed to braze is easily gotten. Any input would be great!

Looks like fun!
