SHOW OFF YOUR BED RACKS!!!!!

We could definitely build that for you shipping would be high for sure! Worst case is we can design cut notch and bend the tubes and you have a local welder weld them up to save on shipping.

4130 would a waste of money IMO as the rack not going to provide protection in a roll over anyway being lower then the passengers. I would go with the standard 1.75x.120 wall HREW that everyone uses.

 

I started building my bed rack today. Got a question for ya'll, how are you bolting the racks to the bedrail system? Can you post pictures of the bolts you're using or link to a thread that talks about this topic. Thanks in advance. I did bolt it in with the bolts facing inward but had to cut the bolts off one side to remove the rack (I welded the crossbars on after bolting the side brackets in to hold them in place temporary, working by myself). It's no where near done yet.

 

details on the bed rack setup please?
thanks in advance

 

Dimensions? Setups? I also have more pics in my album if you want to see different setups. Please be a little more specific. If you want specs on the bed rack or something else.

 

All painted and mounted to the truck. I'll add the Offroad lights and red l.e.d. marker/ brake lights later.

 

I built this one for a customer. It mounts to the cab floor. We kept it pretty simple

 

Where and how man?!!!
I'm local to HB.
Would it work with a tonneau (less the diagonal tubes)?

 

My buddy's fab shop made it, they're in Anaheim.

Not sure if you could get it to work with a tonneau, but they might be willing to take a look and see what they could do.

 

Yeah that's awesome! Could you please pm me the info?

 

Ever consider a short bed design?

 

That one was for a short bed

 

Love this. You make this?

 

Really like this. Will be doing something very similar. No tool box though so up close to cab

 

Thanks, I'll probably remove the toolbox and put my gear in a toolbox that goes in between the wheelwells and will fit under the rack. I want to fabricate a box on the underside of this rack that I just built. Just need to take measurements, find some time and good weather to fabricate it.

 

How much material did you need to make this?

 

I wasn't sure a square tube rack would look good, that is damned sexy!

 

I used just under 10ft of 1.5" 1/8" thick square tubing, around 4ft of 2" 3/16" thick angle steel and some small 1/8" plate to cap off the ends of the crossbars. I used all scrap steel I had laying around that used to be powder coated but was old and rusty so I spent more time grinding and sanding than actual fabrication. Two cans of dark grey primer and three cans of gloss black paint, had them laying around from other projects.

 

i know i'm jumping in this post pretty late, ive had a blast using this rack. i have an adjustable Leitner Design Active cargo system. Came in handy at home depot the other day haha. The sliding rear crossbar is the shit.

 

I like that design of rack and really like the white BAJA.
