    just a thought. but what about having the thread moved. so both 1st and 2nd gen can post? in stead of having 2 threads. just a thought.

    i’m going to get some bed bars from ATO to i can lock my snowboard up. and than when i can get welder and everything. make a rack to haul stuff.

    It was just an idea that I sent to my Fab guy to show him what I'm wanting to have built. I want a roof rack/ basket that goes over the cab and part of the bed. Along with a light bar on the front of the basket. I also want the roof rack/basket attached to my sliders and to the frame in the bed to form the start of my exo cage. Eventually I will ditch my bed and it will become a full expedition vehicle just one step at a time.

    on a side note google sketch up is free easy to use.

    gotcha. That makes sense now. Im doing a roof rack off the bed rack as well..but ill just copy Allpros design i think as i won't be going hard core enough to cage my truck. Think ill just keep my compressor, aux batter and lights and some tools up there so nothing super crazy heavy so i won't need the support. You gonna get it built tho?

    The rack. Then the tent is taking all the wind force. If the rack was a bit lower it wouldn't create as much drag..just a personal thing i guess.

    That would be negated once he got the roof rack done. The whole design was sweet and I would definitely do it if I had a use for all that.

    no i like the allpro one. I based my design off that one. Its a bit lower so it seems to work better IMO.
