Bed Bars

Ok I stayed with the keep it simple program
SS 11 gauge rectangular tube with 3/16 SS angle iron cut as the lip mount
Yakama Cargo carrier .

I am going to mount gas can carriers on the side where the gap is between the cargo carrier

I know the bars will support at least 500 pounds -- more than I will need
Blue cable to prevent it from walking away

Patent pending

 

Nice!

 

sick, i like the way the rectangular bars go over the edge of the bed. makes it stronger

 

I left the ends open for hooks and tie downs
this system be is bullet proof

No rust
plenty of spaces for tie downs
strong
did I say no rust ?

I am going to call this the szy mod

 

nice set up.i think if the bars would look good shaved down on the angle.

 

You may be right

But I have never had a mod fight me so bad - I was glad to be done with it

First I started with Alum
60 grade T 6
then
70 grade
then I went to Stainless Steel 316
Then 304 grade
then I had a devil of a time with the weld ....... don't ask
...............

It turned out good in the end .............
in the end

 

just get a chop saw with a metal blade.put that shit on a 45 or so degree angle and done

 

I like it. Good job.

 

Nice job! We need pics of it with some cargo in it....while camping.

 

i want to see a fat chick in it.than i will believe its strong.lol

 

I have been fighting the Seasonal Disorder stuff
As soon as the weather gets somewhat better I will show you all some picks of this loaded down and with it on the trail ........... a major no non sense trail trust me

 

I ASKED MY WIFE - She said NO . Sorry
And no way I am getting on it .....

 

ill get my wife

 

For some who may wonder the cargo separator is there for when I go shopping in good weather to prevent stuff from slopping around between it and the tail gate

 

Nice work, I have a set-up like that but I used 1 1/4 pipe as the cross bars.

 

That sounds good
can you post some pics ?

 

Its a slow project still need some angle and get it welded up.



Cut the pipe halfway so it will sit on the angle when I get that.

The rack.

 

Very nice when you get it done post it up bro

 

Thanks, Will do

 

Thing is you can mount plywood on these and sleep on them
use them for a ladder rack
whatever ...... they are bullet proof
