so im looking to build a roof rack for my SWB sierra soft top (has a fibreglass top on)
atm the plan is to build a simple section that is just flat with small side bars, this will bolt to the car by a three bar running to the top door hinge, one with the b pillar and one at the rear both attached via sandwich plates just bellow the hard top on the tub.
a quick paint of what i am thinking of (note not my zook just a random from google)
i am looking to carry a double swag, shovel, camp chair and a little fire wood. i am not looking to do a "heavy duty roofrack"/exo cage set up, mainly for the legalities of them here in the NT
a few questions
-what is better ally or steel?
-will the sandwich plate idea be strong enough?
any suggestion would be appreciated
Cheers
