Here is how mine came out. Did them last weekend for a cost of $130 total. All parts from Lowes.

 

very cool and i got this in my work truck. sweet! all but the wheels. will show pics when i get mine done.

 

What a relief........I saw your thread title and the first pic and thought no way is this guy going to build his own storage rack ( I thought roof rack) out of threaded pipe, 90' elbows and those anchor plates and then mount it to your hardtop. That's what you get for reading these forum topics at 4:30am with no coffee.

 

geez, between your doors, hard top, and that toaster....looks like half your garage is used up. i'm glad i went with a 2 door and soft top considering i don't have a garage of course.

 

would letting the doors stand like that cause them to bend over time due to the weight not normally being placed like that. has anyone thought of making a set of hinges to hang them from?

 

^^^ I kept my doors off for 3-4 months straight after tihs pic and when I put them on again, they were fine. What's really funny is that when I first got the jeep, it would leak in the rain with the doors shut. Now it doesn't. I wonder if having the doos off for so long allowed the rubber to expand and create a tighter seal or something.

 

interesting.. that.. or they bent ever so slightly to create a tighter seal im not sure. thanks for all the write ups though im gonna look into building somthing possibly combining everything. ill let yall know how it turns out

 

WOW!! Simple yet so effective. I will be building 2 of these or a varient.

 

Thanks so much! The instruction and material list were very easy to follow. I made one for myself about a week ago. The only thing was that it actually ended up costing about 100 bucks, but I enjoyed making one and it works great!

 

Great idea! I had never thought of using pipes from Lowe's for a mod... Now I'm having visions of cheap roof racks dancing in my head.
