Thanks, will check them out also. That's the kind of wiring job I'd want to see if I'm paying someone else to do it. I'm good with wiring, i just don't trust myself messing with the ignition wires

 

Only thing I don't like about that rack is how it's supported at the bed floor and sort of on the bed rails. It seems like it'd be difficult to make it so there's not a gap between the bed rail and that angle piece, so all the weight is supported at the bed floor. I'm sure it's plenty strong, but I'd want one that just sat on the bed rails.

 

I'm wondering what would happen when the bed flexes while offroading.

 

Exactly! It was kind of funny, I followed a Tundra down a rough Cambridge street this morning and you'd swear that the bed was only held on with bungee cords. That thing flexed like paper, I couldn't believe how much movement there was with the bed!

 

Thanks Tim . Im just happy I'm done with throwing money in the trash renting .
I have some projects in mind for the house but those will start next summer .
Congrats on the new addition . I have a feeling I'll be going down that road soon too .

 

Wow, you are just talking it all right on the chin.

 

I remember I watched a comparison test video a few years ago between all the full size trucks (Ford Chevy Dodge Toyota and Nissan).
I remember being shocked when they did the "rocky road" test at how much ALL of their beds flexed. The Nissan flexed so much that it actually damaged itself; the bed and cab hit so hard that they both dented

Hahaha guess I need more practice .

 

You better be careful, she will try to slip in a ring and then there will be no mod house or truck money left.

 

This is the one I had seen sometime back:

She got a ring last year . There's always money for toys .

 

I think they are both biased. They have the spokesmen for each line in the two videos. Obviously they picked the tests that their truck would excel in.

 

So your engaged?

 

I assume you guys are posting videos? The IT guys changed it so that we can't play video on the work computers (too much band draw or some computerspeak reason) so all it shows me is a big blank spot, haha.

 

Nope . I just got it to make her happy . Marriage isn't for me . She knows that.

 

Been trying to tell mine that, it didn't work.

 

I agree withe the mount issues plus you lose bed space.. I was more commenting on the size and strength of everything. Looks like same tubing sliders made of and four top hoops is a lot for a five foot bed. The angle looks like two inch angle which isn't light

 

You will be saying the same thing after the wedding

 

If you do go that route..Vegas. That's what we did..cannot wait to go back there, so much stuff to do
