Just finished up a fresh wood rack. HIPSTER ALERT. All wood except for feet. Did a stress test & planked on it. So will hold at least 200 pounds. 3 coats of stain 4 cans of satin sealer. Let's see how long it'll last.

First mock up


Some progress


Finished product


A lot of sanding, fit, & refit. To get it near perfect. Ive got at least 15-20 hours in labor

Going to fit my old Thule fairing when I got the time

Has anyone tried the cheap ebay bike rails? Worth it?

Heres the rack on my drift car. just an old Yakima with some homemade bars welded together in between.

Have any close ups of the bars you welded up for tire hauling? I'm looking at building the same kind of setup for my track car.

Anybody used the Sea Suckers long term.

Can someone tell me anything about these roof racks? They're for sale but the owner knows nothing about them and I was hoping someone in this thread could at least tell me a brand or if they will even fit an e30

[freeride53]

...Well they look like center-adjustable gutter-mounted racks.
Should fit right on. ;)

[eight~deuce]

ok so I'm a big roof rack noob. How does a gutter mounted rack work. does it just clamp on to the trim on the outside of the rain gutter?

[E30_Pare]

Yup
