    Tac,

    Your rack is awesome. I was looking in the background of the photos. Are you a full time fabricator? You have a nice shop.

    I'm a fabricator myself.. mainly aluminum tho. We primarily build ladder racks.

    Crookedbeat posted a link to a thread I have on toyotanation.

    Keep up the good work!

    -Stuart

    I first would like to say that is a great looking ladder rack. Second I would like to know what type of steel you used to build it? (1018, A36, etc).

    My rack is about 160 pounds. I would say the rack on this thread is around 180 pounds.

    Check out Katadin Welding. I know most of you aren't from Maine but this racks are rugged! The Maine Warden Service uses these racks exclusively on their trucks.

    They don't have a Tacoma rack on their website however I'm emailed they guy and they do make them. Hope this helps.

    Just took my rack off for the coming winter. Boating season over.A sad time!!

    I have a cheap cap that does not roll over the bedsides. So no water problems for me, But I still have to put two extra layers of cap foam tap on the front of the bed nearest the window.

    Now getting wood ready for the wood stove.

    Did you make a rack yet?
