Custom trade bars

Trade bars
I want to put a pair of trade bars on a GLX. I was contemplating modifying the sports bars but heard they are poorly attached. I'd like a sports bar at the front with a simple bar at the back and a roof rack over the top. Does anyone have any photos or ideas about this approach? I have seen heaps of utes around with similar setups.

I was thinking of something like this but with a solid chequerboard top.

I want to put in a drawer system and just wondering how to keep the rain out. Should I just get a conpy or leave it as a ute lid?

I don't know where you are located zen, but tjm geebung in brisbane have a lot of types of trade racks.

Another option, if you don't need them all the time, is a roof rack and a t-bar that locates from your tow bar hitch

Great suggestions. Thanks. Those Trade bars look good. Shame you can't put them on without taking off the ute lid though!
