Custom Bed Rack ! 2nd Gen Predator Rack

I built this rack after a while of looking around at all pro and a few builders on the site. Mine may not be as good as these ither guys but I also have only Spent $180 and a couple days on it so far.
Let me know what you guys think

 

That right there Sir is bitch'n!!! I wish I had such an inclination of that type of engineering skills!

 

Nice that looks great I've been wanting to build one for so long but never have time

 

Throw some fabric on it and you have a soft topper too, I want to make one of these so bad but no welder (what kind of welder would you need to make one of these?)

 

That would look way sick

 

Good work! I've been planning on something similar, except over my beststop.

 

Thats looks really good! I really like the sloped back. I've wanted something like this for a long time.

 

That looks badass man!!!!! Great job

 

I'm getting army cargo netting for it and a stick welded works great

 

May consider selling them if i can get enough time . Learning from the first one I maDevthe next one wILL be a lot cleaner .

 

looks good, only thing I would change is the height of the crossbars, not a fan of how they are quite a bit higher than the cab

 

I like it looks nice one advantage of being higher would be carrying gear such as kayak's and such.

 

looks pretty badass!

 

I like it. I love the fact that it doesn't sit under the roof. This thing would be awesome to put a canoe on the roof.

 

I would really like one!!!

 

Let me know if you ever figure a way to do this. I was tossing the idea around for a while, so I can put a roof-mounted rack or rooftop tent over the Bestop. Only problem I see is the fact that the bed rails are covered when the windows are in.

 

Great job! That's exactly what I wanted but couldn't get because shipping from the areas where similar versions are fabricated would be way too much. I ended up with a Body Armor sport rack that doesn't really impress me.

 

Very nice, looks like it's tough enough to load up with lumber and such. I would be interested in one

 

you can have the mounts sandwiched in-between the rails. A couple members here already did it.

Man that is pretty nice. I might have to make that for my next project. When the weather cools off here of course. I stop all welding and blacksmithing during the summer. You pass out one time and it makes you not want to do it again ( plus the wife freaked out about it).
Question-----Did you have the pipe bent for you on the turns, or do you have your own pipe bender?
