Custom Ski Rack Brackets

If you take those 2 "ears" at each end and bend them down 90* then extend the length to compensate for the bends you could mount right to the bed rail leaving the tie down brackets for other things.

Just a thought. I never really liked using the cleats to mount things because they seem weak.

 

What does that mean?

I also got cap. It still looks like an awesome product.

 

After almost a month of using these babies, I can say that they are awesome!!

Solid as a rock. My ski's never move, unless they're on the hill

 

I'm interested too!! what kind of snowboard racks would these fit? Also, would these fit something like a thule roof box next to a snowboard rack?

 

Nice work

 

swa ?

 

I made a pair similar to fit with my cap. Keeps all the other gear back there so much more organized under or on the boards.



This is the crossbar in the back (near the tailgate); swings open to clamp and lock the boards down. The other one doesn't swing open so you can put everything in without even dropping the tailgate.


Just to show that this method can work with a cap. Really nice design OP!

 

that looks really good too WYOTAC! I need something that I can put on and take off easily and can leave the truck for a bit and grab a bite without feeling uneasy about someone taking my board.

 

That is a great way to run it. I am interested in the clamps you have. Manufactured or purchased? I typically take all the gear and another vehicle takes the people. Would love to know where to find. OP is this something that you can make if it was a one off for WOYTEC. Thanks

This is an awesome set-up! I would definitely be interested in getting something like this. Great job!

 

Thanks for the compliments guys... these things are very handy.

OhYeah: I made these to attach to the bed rails and I have just used a 1/4" shank padlock to lock the swinging arm down. It gives peace of mind knowing that all my gear is secure.

CLynch: These are just something I came up with last season after going on a big ski trip with multiple people and I was the gear hauler.. haha. I just used 1x1 square steel tube and 1x1/8 steel strap for the bars and then the 1" strips of weather seal foam stuff that you get at any hardware store.

 

It can fit anything that mounts with bolts, basically.

Production is starting soon.

 

I already had the Thule rack and bars, so the

$102 INNO RT102 INNO Racks - Truck Bed Rack System - Set of 4 Pickup Truck Rack Stays with C-Channel Track Systems

INNO RT102 setup worked really well for me. Props to the OP on your design- as I wrote earlier, I'd be in for yours if I didn't have the bars already.

 

Are you still selling these. Showed a chick a work, this design. She is interested for dragging her kids to slopes.

 

Nice work!

Have been wanting to make a ski rack for a while now...

Probably going to copy this design

 

Awesome design! Sub'd for interest, if you're selling...I've been locking for a way to keep my snowboard and friends' skis off the roof.

 

Everything is in the works. I'm still waiting for material pricing.

 

Could you send a pm when you're ready our about to ship. Only about 5 weeks left in NY. She will prolly forget until next year. I think she may be a member now since I showed her this.

 

Will do.

The good thing is, these can be used all year round for other stuff (bikes mostly).

 

That's really cool, im interested depending on price I would very likely pick up a pair
