    So I got started on this yesterday. I am by no means an expert welder (this is my first real project).



    I'll be adding the 4 points to the bedrail today. So far I'm pleased with it.

    Here it is. The first of it's kind (based on my "extensive" research). The bed rack INSIDE the bestop.

    Also repainted the Krazy Beaver Murderspork. It was looking a little shabby.

    Here's the finished product of the first ever (that I've seen) bed rack inside of a bestop. Pretty stoked on how it turned out.

    Gonna mount the Maxtrax board on the back rail when my t-slot nuts come in.
