DIY roof rack

I tied a bed frame to my crossbars with hose clamps, very solid, and it looks good. I used Gorilla tape to cover the jagged edges on the ends of the frame, and strips from a large rubber belt I found in a printer to cushion the hose clamps against the crossbars. Only down side so far is the weird humming the wind makes through it when I go above 25 mph, but since I have an amp and sub, I think I can live with it.

Lol, yeah I get that same sound with ladders on my truck.
After 36 years of hauling ladders I don't even notice any more.

Nice rack by the way!

Lol

I'm amazed that Hobo hasn't shown up yet. Great- he probably will now!

You'll get used to the noise. Strap everything down so it's secure, and you should be able to haul 200-300 pounds up there. Not bad at all!
