    When the collars are backed off most of the way, there's no preload on the springs anymore. One of the nice things about having dual rate springs and 14+ inches of travel. :oops:

    If I can use up all the travel and still have preload, good enough for me! :luvya:

    Going to start my new bad rack soon. Which means the old one had to come off.

    I will miss it. It was unique and i will miss the lighting setup the most. Still trying to figure out how im going to get roof lighting again..

    Anyways, the last photos of Frank with the bed rack. Oh and i actually washed him! With soap and everything! paint looks better then i thought..

    Even with just the tent off he looks naked..

    [​IMG]BedRackRedo-17.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr

    All this custom wiring...gone...shame. Was so much work too.

    [​IMG]BedRackRedo-18.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr

    super naked now!

    May sell this..or cut a part of it out to reuse. Not sure yet.

    [​IMG]BedRackRedo-20.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr

    This look could grow on me..still doesn't seem right.

    New bed rack will be moveable. As in the tent will go up and down. I want it low for go fast stuff but still want it up for camping. My idea should work quiet well. Im pretty excited to make it happen.

    I'll have work all week mostly so won't be doing much. I think anyways. Could be starting rear axle and shocks but would be doing that on the weekend. Possibly. Idk if I can buy shocks yet. Gonna be 14" ads.

    And I'm not leaving you alone with Frank. Id come back and you'd have him cut into smaller pieces then yours haha :p
