As the title suggest...
My dad wanted the roof rack soo bad but after askin around,most are priced above rm1500.
Great quality will go beyond rm2500.
So,the DIY bug bites again.
This was done long time ago so i cant recall the exact cost but its well below rm1500.
Main concern is getting the roof bar of the desired height.Most cheapo bar are too high and
does not look good.they have lower carrying weight too.
Problem is with the pajero is the roof is slightly higher towards the back.
Finally manage to get Thule roof bar at Senawang for less than rm800.Sorry, i dont recall the
exact price as its been more than a year.
Roof bar sorted out now comes the biggest challenge-the rack itself.
He bought the steel u can see in the pic.still got lots leftover as u can see on the frame of the
roof of the house for future project.
the cutting job is done by him as neither my bro or me are good at cutting steel.it must be a perfect
match to make welding easier and the joint water tight.
these are the finish product.need to improve on my welding skill more.
the open end is plugged with a chair plug or plastic end.cam be bought at hardware shop.
does it work?
sure did.i try carrying some box and luggage bag when moving house last week.
how much it can carry?
Thule claim max load of 50kg.
i have a problem,i cant weld using welding goggle.my bro doesnt seem to have the problem.
i just use a dark goggle.but i dont look directly on the spark.
