I'm creating an overlander from a 2000 Suburban 2500. There are aftermarket roof racks but the price tags are higher than I wanted to pay. Instead, I found an original/optional base roof rack from a Z71 truck, then made a Makerpipe platform to sit on top of that.

I used one of the collars to create an extendable towel bar on one side and added a wind deflector in front of it all.

Eventually the roof will get an awning, shower, and storage box. I expect I'll have to modify my current work a bit to mount those, but that's one of the reasons I liked the Makerpipe approach - easy adaptions.

The other reason I liked working with the Makerpipe stuff is that I'm building this while living in an apartment. I don't have power out where the truck is, but since I can cut conduit without power tools, without making a mess, and without making loud noises, it's an apartment-friendly way to build.

I actually decided to build out the interior with Makerpipe as well, so am watching for ways to add drawer slides and skin a framed-in cabinet, etc.
