SD roof rack, $150 from a salvage yard.

RoverRacks rear ladder, birthday present.

Floor for my roof rack, $20.

 

Looks great, love the price!

What is it, how sturdy is it, how'd you attach it, and where'd you get it?

Its pretty sturdy, I used black cable ties (until I ran out, then switched to white that will be replaced once I get back to the store)
If you stand between two sections of roof rack tubing it will sag, but I dont plan on living up there.
I could look better, but I have no patience at all and after a hour I was ready to be done.
It would be best to install this with the rack on the ground, but I dont have a lift buddy so I had to do it on the truck.
The stuff is easily cut with standard tin snips.
I painted it with $.96 a can spray paint, took 4 cans.
It needs to be cut to length and I cut out notches to fit it around the vertical supports on the rack.
At every cross section on the rack tubing I used 4 cable ties, one on each tube.
We are going on a wheeling trip this weekend so we will see how well it works out.

 

let us know how it works out for you. sounds like it could be a descent $40 savings over the traditional farm tek

 

This is alot cheaper than the FarmTec stuff, not as sturdy, but this is also only 1/4" think.
If you put one foot on either side of a rack tube this stuff wont sag.

 

Ok Spike, it's been a couple of weeks, what's the verdict?

 

Sorry, I forgot to get back to you guys...the stuff works great.
You can walk on it, load stuff on it...great alternative if you ask me.

I cant wait to see how much snow it holds this winter.

 

Thanks for the update, glad to hear it's working out for you, you and your Disco are proof it doesn't cost a fortune to own and operate a B.A. Rover.

And yes, please do post pics of the mountain of snow I'm sure it will capture this winter
