Front of Bed MOLLE Rack

I'm definitely in for one. I've got a long bed, so your design would work better for me because it looks like cali's only has the wheel well cutouts. 3/16" aluminum would probably be sufficient. Thanks for the cool design work!

 

Here is my first version for a short bed. Without knowing the bed mount hole spacing I can't add slots for that yet, but that's not difficult.

 

The short bed version looks pretty good, I think I'd like one in alum.

 

An alum. would be nice

 

Would you be willing to get me a dimension for the short beds?

 

I can get dimensions tomorrow, my spare is mounted in the bed ill take it out during the day.

 

So I've looked at shipping, material costs, nesting for laser cutting (or water jet cuts) and I think I could have either the short bed version or long bed version shipped throughout the US for roughly $150-$175. That's unpainted though, I think this maybe the way to go because it allows you to pick what color it is and if you even wanted painted. These prices are for either 3/16" or 1/4" 5052 Aluminum. I still need to talk with one of the fab shops about making these and there costs, but I have included my estimate for this in the price. I think the price from the fab shop will be lowest if I get more. Let me know what your guys' thoughts are; I will look into fab costs tomorrow. I've looked at shipping to Canada and that would add ~$50 to cost.

 

I'm in for one for a long bed in the 3/16" aluminum. Thanks.

 

Bed mount hole spacing on 2 gen short bed is 39.5". distance from front of the bed to the bolt is about 5 1/8"

 

I just received a quote on the costs to make these. It would cost $175 for 3/16" aluminum, or $160 for 10 ga. steel. That is just factoring ordering 5 for the long bed and 5 for the short bed, I think this price will drop if I were to order more. So I would like to see if people would be interested in these if they cost between $200-$250 shipped. Please mark the survey or PM me what size you would like if you were to order. Then I can get a more accurate quote.

 

Put me in for a long bed version in aluminum.

 

Long Bed. 3/16" aluminum.

 

I'm in for one for a short bed in the 3/16" aluminum. Thanks.

 

I thought for a minute that this mounted behind the rear window. That would be more useful to me. The bed gets loaded up so I couldn’t even access this version. Good idea though.

If you do a behind the glass version, like a headache rack with 1/4”, I’d be interested.

 

*UPDATE*

I received some more quotes based on more pricing and this is what I have.

If 5 are ordered - collectively - price is $225 each plus shipping
If 10 are ordered - collectively - price is $185 each plus shipping
If 15 are ordered - collectively - price is $175 each plus shipping
If 20 are ordered - collectively - price is $165 each plus shipping

This would have to be done similar to a group buy because parts cannot just be made individually. This means I need to have a good view of who would actually order before an order could be placed. These would be made from 3/16" aluminum and be un-coated (i.e. no paint or powder coat). The price is the same for long bed and short bed versions. Shipping costs are approximately $60 for shipping within CONUS, and $115 for shipping to Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii. The shipping price will not be fixed, I will most likely sell these through my Etsy account if this goes through.

 

I'm definitely in. Are you still bolting to the bed bolts I hope?

 

Should be. I'm going to review dimensions again and double check my measurements.

 

These are the final models that will be available if enough interest is there.
Long Bed Model:


Short Bed Model:

The slots marked with green arrows allow for side to side movement for top bed rail mounts.

The purple arrows show how support bracket can move up and down.

I am still working on what hardware to use.
