Installing a DIY Roof Rack on our Ford Transit | Van Build Series (Ep. 3)

We're continuing our van build series! In this episode, we install a DIY roof rack using Unistrut/Superstrut. We found that roof racks are pretty expensive ($1,000+), so Aaron bought parts separately and put together our own roof rack to save some money. If you find this video helpful/entertaining, please let us know by liking it and leaving us a comment :) We plan to mount our solar panels in our NEXT episode of our #vanbuild series, so stay tuned and subscribe to our channel.
