Alabama thread!

I'm the same way, I want to make my shell waterproof but it's currently not. I just like having the stuff enclosed and able to be locked in as well, but I love the look of bed racks.

 

Yea I'm currently looking on CL for a shell, I found one but it's almost all the way over in SC. I think what I will do it sell my rack and then buy some bed bars to hold me over until I can find the right shell I want.

Will be listing the rack officially first of Oct once I get back from my mammoth caves trip.

 

Well @Davtopgun Matt said it looks like he'd be cheaper buying the DIY weld kit from All-Pro.

 

If it was offered in a LB, maybe......
Looks damn sexy tho.

 

Guess who just got a $1.50 raise whooooooooooooo mods here I come

 

congrats!! what do you do for work?

 

For the All Pro Rack specifically he said $650 Painted and Mounted for you. He can get the steel cheaper than that weld-together kit, but his labor to do it would make it cost more. So basically if he did it you'd just save on paint/mounting/shipping costs as compared to All-Pro. You said "simple version" but you'd have to be more specific how you'd want to save cost on it and what you'd want to change.

 

I'll let my rack go for around $500

 

much better option then. I don't see any cost savings for that rack design to be able to knock off $150.

 

Only reason I'm selling it so cheap is because I got it on a free shipping weekend they did. With shipping it would have been around $750! I think I paid $580 for it. I will let it go for $500 picked up here in Mobile, AL.

 

Yeah shipping is a huge cost on items like this stuff. So 650$ mounted/painted is a good price, just nothing fantastic.

 

Quit trying to steal my thunder! Haha

 

Lol no yours is a way better deal, because you are painted and I'm sure you'd help mount it haha. So you're 150$ cheaper simply because "used"

 

I have a tube bender. Buy material use my pipe bend use angle iron for the bed mounts. Save some money.

 

Steel.

Looks good, but I wonder if it would fit a short bed.

Hmmm..

Can you post some measurements so I can see if it will fit a short bed?

This may be the options I go with. Bed racks are very pricey for a something that doesn't seem difficult to make.

 

No it won't. Sorry!

 

Electrical and right now I'm doing fire alarm and going to apprenticeship school and thanks man I needed this raise bad lol

 

What company are you with? That stuff is right in my companies wheel house (Spectrum Solutions Inc.)

 

Marathon electric outta Bham

 

I'll let you take the whole pipe bender with you. I've used it once to build a prerunner bumper in high school.
