Im looking for a safari rack with the fogs in front for my 2002 ford explorer xlt I have the chrome light bar on my truck already and i was wondering if there is a stainless steel roof rack around?

You want someone to poke around ebay for 20 minutes for you, guessing what you might like, and post links of it here? I'm hoping you're on a phone that doesn't work well with ebay or something.

Maybe I jumped to a conclusion, sorry. Here's a link to ebay.

I thought that was kind of rude, myself.

You can mount with or without crossbars but most go with crossbars. Crossbars are going to be more specific to your vehicle. There aren't really vehicle specific roof racks. The size you get is pretty much up to you. You'll have to climb up top of your truck and measure what area of the roof you want covered by a roof rack and what size will suit your needs. What are you trying to carry with it? Do you need something truly heavy duty or is it just for looks? Do you have a sunroof? How much money do you want to spend?

These are the things that are necessary before someone else does your homework.

Was not meant to be rude was kind of a helpless idk what to do option

i dont know how to approach it that is why i am here asking, Little by little but i am asking, I have a sun roof, I do alot of camping and paintballing so i need it to be able to hold tents, bags coolers that sort of thing, And i need it to be able to have fog lights

That's a better question.

If your rack covers your sunroof, you will have terrible buffeting if you have the sunroof open with the rack on. Just something to consider. You may be able to deal with it, or you may be like a lot of people and not actually use the sunroof. You may be able to find one that won't necessarily cover the sunroof and have it further back on the cab.

You don't necessarily have to have a really heavy duty one for the gear you listed. Curt has one for just over $100 that I have been considering. Rage also makes a popular one that a few members here have bought. Both are on ebay.

Mounting lights will usually require making your own mounting tabs or buying some. Most don't come with them. Not very difficult, though.

As for stainless steel, I've never seen one but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

I couldn't find one I liked so I made my own.

This look sterdy?

 

[OffTrac]

Looks pretty good but it's unfinished and will require adding a paint or powdercoat. It does have the light mounts.

Dude thats 360 bucks, I would imagine that you could find a fab shop close to you that will build one custom for your needs for that much.

 

[Th1sguy]

Really, thought it would be more to have it custom made
