Re: New Safari Roof Rack and ladder
well if you do i'd be a first customer I need one for my high top. I have a plan for one but don't have the welding skills or the equipment to do it.

Very sharp. So how long does it take to be a proficient mig tig welder? I've always wanted to learn? Setup costs? I wanna make custom kayak racks
