You really only see two DIY roof racks on YouTube. After building this Unistrut rack I can see why it's the most popular and may even be the best. It was easy to make, cheap compared to Yakima or Thule, and in my opinion more versatile. In this video I mostly focus on cross bars for my 2014 Honda CRV but this would easily extend into whatever kind of SUV roof rack you’d like to make.
This video was not sponsored (not that I’m opposed to that. Ahemm…) I purchased most of this at Menards or Home Depot. But if you’d like to support me you can buy some of it through the amazon affiliate links below. The ones that aren’t amazon links are just there so you know what I used.
Shout out to @T-Sparky and the tons of other YouTube roof rack makers for the ideas in this video.
