roof rack color thoughts..
hey guys. going to attempt to build a roof rack modeled after mb 01sc's creation on post #127 here:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...cations-9.html
mine will be around 9 foot long and 50ish inches wide as i plan to include 2 curved 50" bars double stacked up front and 1 50" straight bar in the back. reason for rack to to carry my 37" spare...and add a few lights. my truck is a white eddie bauer. most all racks are black, i'm considering painting the rack a shade of gold/tan to match lower cladding. looking for input on this idea. what are your thoughts?
also to consider is i plan to get rid of the stock running boards and add amp steps after i get through the roof rack project.
thanks for any input!
thanks
andy

There was another thread recently with a white excursion and white rack, Looked pretty sharp.
Having tried the roof rack spare tire method I can say for me, keeping it inside in the stock spare location is much easier when you only need to carry 1 spare. I still need a 2 spare tire solution for longer trips into Mexico but I think I am going to go with bumper mount and save the rack for lighter stuff. Just my .02

and no I didn't cut any interior trim to make it fit.
there is a procedure to it but it works for me.

looks good but still takes up to much room for my liking. i haul a lot of adults (can't believe i called my derelict buddies adults) and didn't want to interfere with the rear seat at all. to each their own. im planning to move my sub and recovery gear/tie downs to where the spare is and have the back area wide open.
