Looking for a CHEAP WAY to make fit & modify a ROOF RACK to fit on BRONCO

From another vehicle maybe?

What roof rack from another vehicle have you modified and make it fit your Bronco?

Yo,

Here are some;

Explorer Installation in an 83; "...The roof rack came from a '96 4-door Explorer, but was cut down one mounting *****. The runners are uncut. T-nuts are much more expensive than blind nuts, so I broke the tabs off. The screws are stainless. I hate shiny things, but none of them are visible when the rack is installed. Some of the nuts have to be spaced down or shortened because the roof is so thin. Although silicone helps hold the nuts while screws are being installed, the first camper I did this to had none and never leaked. Using the shortest screws available (~1/2") allows a stock '92-96 headliner to fit. cut the front of the tracks down by 1 ***** hole and installed 2 rear crossbars because they can both be (re)moved without tools. The original front bar is screwed in place. I also added more tie-downs. Outside dimensions (after cutting it down) are 43"Lx42"Wx3.5"H The support runners are 42"L. Although I'm not using these gaskets, I replaced the trim in them. It's more difficult than installing the windows in the shell..." Click Next to see more pics w/info
