    Put together a camp shower using a Scepter jug and hose bib, and then made a cradle so that I could mount it up to the rack. Ugly? Yes. Functional? Absolutely! Taking off on Tuesday for a trip through the east side of the Sierra and that shower's gonna feel good.

    On the rack: Pelican case (tools, recovery), two Rotopax, camp shower, Maxtrax, shovel.

    Awesome.

    Planning on two for my CABRAC, looks like you had plenty of room on the accessrac.

    Zack, I recd my cabrac and toprac today all in good order. Just a tad confused, as always, on the install. The instructions I've found on your site are not explicit enough for my addled brain. The package included 6 standard cross bars and one HD type cross bar. Where do I mount the one? Is it for the wind deflector? I'm a little confused on the plethora of nuts and bolts as well. I have figured out the mounting ones for the cab. I will figure out the rest in due time. Thanks

    It's together. Just have to put it on the truck. Wasn't sure how many t-nuts to install in each cross bar so I stuck a couple in each. Really didn't want to have to take it apart later to install them. Hope to finish the cabrac install today and do the toprac tomorrow. Getting the camper top installed this afternoon.

    You should run bolts through those t-nuts to pinch them down because if they are just loose in the rails your truck will sound like a percussion instrument driving down the road

    Better yet, throw those t-nuts away and get some spring loaded ones.

    It was far more amusing picturing you extracting the unicorn from the gnarwall and then sifting through its poop...

    You and me both. My build is finally coming together. More progress in the last month than the whole year before. First the bumper and now this. Cannot wait!!

    Since I got the truck I have wanted one of these roof racks. I always thought the rack made the trucks look so much more like an expo vehicle but nobody made good quality ones for access cabs.

    This thread is getting me so hyped!

    Where in SoCal are you? I installed my access rack, and if you knew about my mistakes you might avoid making them yourself. PM me if interested.

    Woohoo! Awesome man, I agree finally a rack that looks good on an access cab. The RTT I wanted but I was nervous about. Never seen it done before on an AC.

    I definitely will. If you'd be willing, I could probably use a hand if you are nearby. I'll bring the beers.

    Thanks!

    Me neither! Hoping it works out well!
