I know that I'm a little late to this discussion. I built my own rack. It was not as much about saving money as it was about having something that worked the way that I wanted it to. I wanted something that was modular and versatile. I use it as a lumber rack, as well (short distances only). I designed a box (recovery items) that slides into place and can be easily removed when I'm not going off-road. The same is true of the gas-can holder. I did put a Rhino Rack wind faring on it, which inproved the noise factor significantly.
I'm not saying that everyone should do this but, it worked for me.
