Default Roof Rack

Hello all,

I have a 2002 4-door blazer and I want a rack which would cover the entire roof nicely and fit width wise. I was looking online and it seems like a 40X60 would fit alright, but I want to make sure. Anyone recomend a roof rack which would not break the bank? Also light tabs/ attachment points would be nice too. Thanks!

I've got a 40x60, Surco makes a solid rack, with a huge range of optional attachments.

Haha I know..

I was trying to get a little more muddy...but I barely made it into the mud and ground the frame in deep...notice the grass hanging down from just about every edge under the frame [:@]

I like the size, that you have wolfpack. Thanks for the picture.

I figure that's what I'm getting. Need to get a list together. What size lights fit in that rack? I want to get 4 Driving lights and 2 reverse lights.

And I agree, the spare is too clean

You can buy the light mount brackets for the rack from Surco, there is not a size restriction. I have 6 inch Hella 500's across the front and KC back ups on the rear of the rack.

Matt I didnt realize you had the tire at the back of the rack. I broke my mount on a low parking garage, so when I redo it I'm gunna play around and try the tire in the back. I like how it slopes more gradually...mine looks like a top hat sometimes..

Yeah I have the spare tire kit from Surco... that is where they say to put it. Their kit folds down if you don't have a tire up there.
