Solving Every Problem with this “Dangerous” DIY Roof Rack

This homemade roof rack is built from Unistrut and/or PVC/3D-printed parts, making it tough enough for overlanding and car camping setups—and it all cost under $40. In this video, I show you how I tested 3D-printed roof rack mounts to failure (over 1,100 lbs of strength!), solved roof rack wind noise with a clever printed design, built a cargo system for a Honda CR-V with a rooftop water tank, and created a budget, custom roof rack that looks like a pro product. If you're looking for a cheap roof rack solution, a DIY overlanding setup, or just want to see engineering experiments with ASA filament, this build shows you how to make a strong, simple, and repairable roof rack using parts you can buy at any hardware store.
