Pallet = Roof basket

No, it's not wood.

Aluminum shipping pallet rated for 900+ pounds, my friend's dad sourced a bunch when Bayer closed a local plant and we had a genius idea of what to do with them. Cost me all of $11 and change for sandpaper, primer, and flat black paint and four carriage bolts/washers/nuts. Currently bolted through the stock bars, but I'm working on acquiring some Thule gutter-mount bars to both stabilize it and increase the carrying capacity.

That looks a lot like those $200+ Con Ferr(spelling?) roof racks! Very nice indeed!

thanks dude!

it works just fine, and happens to be just wide enough inside to accommodate a 33. Eventually, said 33 will be on a tire carrier attached to my bumper, leaving room for other goodies. I'm working on a way right now to attach a HiLift to it. I may end up just making a bracket and attaching it to the side. I thought about attaching one of my custom bike racks to it, but I need to wait until I have driprail bars to do that.

Why a custom bike rack, you ask? Because my monster downhill bike doesn't fit anything else

Not a bad $11 investment. Now what where they really used for?

originally for hauling stuff around the local Bayer Pharmaceuticals plant. Probably explains why the plant ran out of money and closed- they spent it all on 300-something-dollar pallets. I'm not complaining though

Way to recycle!
Looks great, like it was made for it

Jerry Bransford on JeepForum hates it, but then again he hates everything that doesn't fit a Dana 35 or that he doesn't think of first :rofl:
