    I got the BAMF bed rack installed today. Thanks again to Jerry for doing a great job with this. I got a few different options: hi-lift mount, bed bolt mounting & quick couplers, powder coat, and I had him make a custom mount for my spare tire.

    I have my shovel on the hi-lift handle keeper for now, but I think I'll do something similar to what NYCO did soon:
    The main purpose for this rack is to mount my RTT (Tepui Kukenam Camo). As soon as that's mounted, I'll update with some pics.

    this makes me have to bro it up because that rack is so gnar. BAMF rack is like the M-1 of racks. i bet it can double as a roll cage.

    What RTT did you go with? I had to get longer bolts to secure the tent to the bedrack because the diameter of the tubing. The bolts it came with were too short.

    Ahh yea I'm actually going to replace all the hardware because I'm going to use exhaust clamps instead of the plate. And I'll be doing this to one or two of them (but with exhaust clamps):

    here is the shovel mount like NYCO's. I also used exhaust clamps instead of the brackets that came with the RTT. I painted them black, and put the felt side of velcro in between the clamp and bedrack so the PC doesn't get scratched up

    Added two 6" blitzpro LEDs for reverse lights
