    thats sick! if you could make it a little shorter, with a tire carrier on the top in the middle so that the tire is even with the top of the cab, that would be sick.

    I could definitely do it if you want to.send me some drawings and if I were to build it I would need a down payment just to cover material . Then its just a matter of.time.before its built .

    Building your own rack is fun and awesome! Heres mine. Decided to build it after trying to build a roof rack for my buddies YJ. I'll try to get a better pic but this one shows it decently.

    I too went with an angled back end and I love it. How it attaches though, well theres nothing like it out there!! Good job with your rack amigo. I love seeing new designs people come up with so I can try new things with mine! Kep up the awesome work!

    The tailgate net you can find at pepboys or online. It's the bully tailgate net. I just put it on backwards so you can't see the bully. I wrecked my tailgate so I picked that up for 15$. My bumper was built by Avid off-road.

    Probably. I felt OK building my bedrack but I am not at the point Where I'd feel OK building my bumper. I could have made some prerunner type bumper but the one I wanted was too complicated for my skills.
