SHOW OFF YOUR BED RACKS!!!!!

Thanks! I finally mounted my hilift on the racks. It's solid too.

 

All pro bed rack weld kit sits level with cab. Currently undergoing transformation as Pake13 and I are mounting wood sides between each pole. Using oak pallets for the boards. The sides will lift up similar to delorean doors to reach inside the bed. Should resemble a bed cap but made of wood. Will update.

 

Used Q Towers and reversed them, used the old clips from when I had my Saturn, had to cut up a cutting board to raise them a bit to lock them down better, stays pretty snug now.

 

Yes or no?
Not sanded or stained yet.

 

Reminds me of the Oregon Trail game

 

Hahaha.

 

Well didnt turn out like i was hoping and the patio needed a table anyway so tada I made a table out of the sides

 

I think they're better as a table. Wood on the trucks is always a bit iffy.

 

Hahaha true would be different if it was wood on an old truck

 

Just got the "Front Runner" Bed Rack put on that I ordered from www.frontrunneroutfitters.com It is Powder-Coated Aluminum and weighs in at around 50 to 60 pounds total. I did a lot of looking around on the Internet before I purchased this Bed Rack. I went with this one for a few reasons. I wanted off the bed, but below the roof, as I want to put a Roof-Tent on the bed rack that will allow me to leave it on my truck & still be able to park my truck in my garage (I may be tired or just lazy after a camping trip & not want to take the tent off right away & still want my truck & tent to be secure in my garage until I get around to taking the tent off my truck. Or I might want to put the tent on my truck a day or two prior to the camping trip & still have everything secure in my garage ready to go. Also, I don't have the skills or equipment to make myself a bed rack & do not know anyone that could have made me one. I figured even if I located someone in a fab shop that could have made me one, the dollar figure would have been up there anyway. "Front Runner" has about 80 different accessories for this one & I liked the platform style of it as I can envision multiple functions it can serve. Most of all, I wanted a lightweight Bed-Rack that was robust & could handle all my wants & needs. The guys over at "Front Runner" said this thing can handle about 660 pounds of weight. I am looking at around a 90 to 100 pound Roof-Tent, so Bed Rack & tent coming in around 150 to 160 pounds is not bad I would say! Everything adds up, so I wanted the two biggest things to be as light as possible! Just wanted to share.

 

I've looked through so far and haven't found one i want does anybody have a cool looking one that goes over a trifold cover mainly just to cover the back window and put a set of lights on it i need ideas on how to build one thatnks

 

Eh?
