DIY Bed Rack (No Weld)

Not exactly DIY but I recently bought these, to work with my bed cover and I am going to weld bars on it for my bike rack and weld nut to make a cage too.

Let me know if you want to see finished product.

 

Super cool OP, I'd love to do something like this and add panels to make it a sort-of shell that would still let me keep my tent at cab height. Don't really need the extra space of a full cap and I wouldn't fit in my garage any more but it would be nice to have a bit more protection for gear in the bed.

 

Did you ever complete this project? I’m looking at these bed bars to go over my softopper and planned to weld some removable bars from one bar to the other.

 

Yes I did. I actually have one of the bars for sale that I did not use.

Hey man did you ever build this rack wondering how it turned out?
