SHOW OFF YOUR BED RACKS!!!!!

Just mounted it today, I built it out of 1x2 1/8" wall steel. Count out the tools and it cost me $250 in steel and $12 in gussets. Rustoleum spray on bed liner coating. Rack is removable so I can still utilize my bed when I need it. Poly bushings and 9/16 bolts mount it to the side rails. I will be mounting a Smittybilt Overlander XL to the top of it once its delivered. Stoked with how it turned out. Haven't weighed it yet but shes got some heft to her, not too much though that I cant lift it and hold it while the wife tosses in the bolts.

 

Max modular 14”

 

Love it. Been looking around for racks that are easily removable to work with a Softopper. Great job!

 

Nothing special, but bed bars just the same.

 

If I may comment I would avoid Datin Metal Fab entirely. The owner Ed Datin and my brother restarted DMF to sell racks like those but after a while Ed stole my brothers initial 10k investment and kicked him out of the company, stealing his designs and badmouthing us to our mutual contacts. My brother and I have started a new company focused on true creativity and innovation in the offroad market and are just about to release our website! Check out our instagram @creofabusa

 

Anyone here with a Camburg bed rack? Cant find too many photos on google images. Their facebook has photos of the rack (from 2017) and their website has almost zero info.

Here's work-in-progress shot of my Overland Rack v2.0. You can check out the built thread below.

this is what i had in mind, how did you attach the lower points to the bedrail?

 

Each leg has an 1 3/4" 1/8" wall piece of tube about 2-3 inches long and I used a 1.5" silicone bushing on either side of the tube. 1 3/4" tube with an 1/8" wall makes the inside diameter 1.5" almost exactly. Then a grade 8 bolt i believe is 9/16" thick through the center.
Bed rails have 1/4" thick gusset tabs welded to them. I have more pics in my build thread here if you want more pics. (also in my signature)

 

Your bed rack looks awesome!!! Is this something you did as a DIY or did you buy it?

 

I have a new (never been unwrapped) set of bed bars from Tacomapocalypse if anyone is looking.

 

Don't know if I posted here, but here is the rack I made a week or so back. Key point was to be clear for a canoe on top, and two bikes on side.

 

And here is the image

Anyone every figure out how to have a backflip cover and have bed racks? Not the backflip racks...

 

Just finished up building and welding up mine from scratch. Planning on putting a rooftop tent but money is tight lol. Any suggestions on what else to put on it, already have a shovel and action trax.

 

Nice!

 

Nice job man looks professionally done! Lots of people mount shovels and traction boards like you already mentioned but add stuff you use regularly or may need in a pinch. Axes, high lift jacks, plano/apache/pelican boxes with recovery gear, first aid boxes, fire extinguishers, and lights are all handy to have dependent on what you need on a regular basis.

 

Has anyone used the westin cargo management system? These are one of the few that are in stock right now
