So my 2 dr blazer doesnt have anywhere to mount a roof rack. I whant to install a roof basket so I can mount my spare and some lights up there since I dont have anywhere else to mount it. At first I wanted to install a tailgate type but that looks like alot of work and fabrication to add the oem one not to mention pricey. Seen some bumper mounted type but honestly I like the roof basket alot more since i can attach allot of goodies to it, and they usually mount on custom bumpers. what have you guys done to adress these issues, any pics or suggestions would be great. i have big plans for this little 4x4 and doing this will fit in well with the other mods I plan on doing. i been having hard time finding custom bumpers to.

 

Well 1st choice would be hitting the wreckers & seeing if any other '93's have roof racks you can get.
Then you'd have to make up a way of mounting the tire to that rack. I've seen many just use 2 ratchet straps.
Possibly look up aftermarket roof racks for a '93 & see if they have options for a tire carrier or at least have a design that could allow something you make to be fabricated into it.
Surco I think makes a lot of roof racks, check them out.

I do plan on going to the wrecker tomorrow if I can and I have seen the universal roof racks online but they mount to the top of the door opening and since i only have two doors it makes it impossible to mount the rear rack lol Thats my problem and I need a solution which looks like welding or screwing something on might be my only option I would just hate to do that

 

when i did my rear carrier mod it cost me less then 70.00 it think to do it.
if you have no stock rack mounts then i would get some decent sized washers and hardware and put something together.

---------- roof
+++++++ piece of 1/8" steel
== === large washers.

maybe some rubber between the layers to add some protection. what i would do, just requires some drilling. not to bad.

 

heres a website that might work for you or anyone else who is looking for aftermarket front and some rear bumpers.
Wincher | :: Tactical Armor Group :: Store

 

yea wish I would of tackled this job when I redid my headliner lol o well hopefully I can find a stock setup at the junk yard. and where did you get the rear carrier kit at?

nice bumpers on that site very pricey but im sure they are worth it.

 

the rear carrier is a stock one from a two door that i added to my four door.
its not to bad, several of us have done it.
i bought mine at the scrap yard

 

Yea I need to get out to one its just to damn hot here its 95 and this is fresh for us lol but hey thanks for all the help and ideas im all ears for any that have any good ones
