ANY WELDERS OUT THERE WHO HAVE DONE RACK FABRICATION

Hey Fellas

New to the site. Thinking I'd like to fabricate a rack. Looking for any pics you'd care to share.

Happy Fourth!

Welcome from SoCal

Welcome aboard from SoCal.

 

@Pinay isn’t a fella Welcome.

 

@KissMyAxe1 is building an rtt rack too fyi

 

@COLORADOJASON I don’t know how you plan to use your truck. If you plan to carry a bunch of dynamic weight, like for high speed off-road, @osidepunker had his built so it it ties into The Truck’s frame. It’s uber awesome.

 

Point well taken!!

 

Thanks! Having trouble finding pics to check it out...

 

Welcome from SOCAL

 

Built this for a buddy. He no longer has a tundra so I bought it. Going to do some modifications to it. Add ladders on the side. Chop the top for a RTT but add boat seat pedestals for removable seats. Build a platform between the bed rails for gear and to be able to lock gear in the bed. Whatever you do build it out of 1/8” or 14ga. This was built out of 3/16” and it’s way too damn heavy. Takes 3-4 men to load it.

 

Are those seats on top?..

 

Yes sir. Ugly ass seats that my buddy built. The rack is for predator hunting

 

The weight is an important piece to consider for sure. Nice looking rack aside from the seat things
I can load my rack (empty) my self. Barely, but it can be done, it’s mostly an awkward size. It’s handy.

This is my thread. It's being put on the backburner at the moment due to money and design problems. Haha Trying to design a rack that can hold a tent and gear and have moving parts is not a quick walk in the park. I'm starting to learn some new software that can hopefully help me virtually test the rack before the next set of modifications.
