Does anybody have any ideas on how to build a gun rack? I have a hard top and I thought about building one that goes on the back of the roll cage. Any ideas?

**pic for laughs**

Man that's awesome! I've got to have it. But I would HATE to see the price tag.

$645 which isn't bad in my opinion

The Grenadeacorp box is sweet! the nice thing about it is when it's closed, you don't even see it. Definetly on my short list of mos.

$700 is a lot of money for something you can't use with the top off.

$700 is a lot of money for brackets and an aluminum box. It is nice, but I can't see paying that much for a lock box.

Perhaps one of these will work for you?

Here's another idea, and I think it's more what you were talking about in the first post. Basically, it's a bar that attaches to either side of the roll cage, that has gun mounts on either side. Keeps them nicely tucked up to the roof.

And that box is 45-1/2" long...
My super x shotgun is 46-1/2, and another I have is 48-1/2... Just make sure yours fits!

Maybe just find some hooks at a hardware store and self tap them into the rear cage crossover if you have a four door

I just did a quick Google image search "JK with gun rack." There are a TON of sweet looking ideas. If I were doing it, I would find one I like and either buy or build it.

On my WJ, I have used these things called 'quick fist clamps' for shovels, axes, bolt cutters, etc. I love these things. Not one has come loose yet. You can find them tons of places.

The Grenadeacorp box is a sweet setup. I saw one in person a couple weeks ago and definitely like it. One thing to consider though is if you have anything mounted on your roll bars it will not work such as a power tank or fire extinguisher. I plan on putting my power tank on the left side.

I've got some ideas on building one. I'll post them later this afternoon. It is almost impossible for me to pay $645, but it sure is awesome. I thought about selling my hardtop to buy it but.....

Anxious to see it. Is this for hunting, recreational shooting, or just because they really look bada$$ ?

This is for more hunting. When hauling people AND guns, it can make for an uncomfortable ride. Hoping to find a way to get them out of the way and in the back. That way scope can't be knocked off. That sort of thing.

Cool. I wonder if some sporting good stores or ATV shops would have some cheaper locking cases with foam in them and you could just fab up a mounting system too.

That's kinda what I have. It's the gun holders that go on the back of your truck seats. They're neoprene. I'm gonna try and run them down the rear of the roll cage. Using zip ties and some cable maybe.
