Thanks Rick. Thats exactly what I'm trying to do! And the rack comes off, easily. My $2k one didn't come off so quickly. Stay tuned for my next video, a short prelude to my current trip, where you can see the rack in action. Also, if you haven't subscribed, please hit that button.

Gouging the customers? How so? By charging a price you don't like? First, there is no such thing as price gouging. This is a term made up by politicians and morons who don't like the fact that we live in a market society. Companies charge what they can charge, to be competitive and make a profit. If customers aren't willing to pay what someone is asking and make a profit then said company will eed to adjust their prices. Clearly that's not the case. Of course it's easy to sit behind our computer and scream at the sky about things being two high priced while not bothering to offer an alternative on the market. Let me know when you do. Secondly, maybe you need to check the manufacturing and design/engineering that goes into a bed rack vs a couple of unistruts. Unistruts are produced by the hundreds of thousands, if not millions. That lowers manufacturing costs one hell of a lot. A company that makes a few racks per year isn't seeing that kind of economies of scale. And if you're paying $2000 for a rack that does only what this rack does then you've clearly lost your mind.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, Eric. Yes! More money for beer!

Thanks for taking the time to watch. Hopefully subscribed too. Always got more stuff coming. I'm also open to any requests.

Thanks for watching! Please make sure to subscribe!

Thanks! I keep telling people that, but they rarely listen! 😄 I wish I would have thought of it before I lost $300 on the purchase and sale of that rack, but hey, you live you learn. Just here to help!

Thanks. I thought of doing it and then spent nearly 2K on a rack, but it was too cumbersome. So I decided to go back to square one.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching and subscribing. I’m super glad it is an inspiration. That’s why I do it.

Thanks for watching and subscribing!

Thanks for watching!!!

We think alike. Thanks for watching

Thanks. I'll consider that. Not a bad idea

Thank you for watching!

Sorry, if you go to the hardware store, just ask for unistrut. It's in the electrical department. Thanks for watching

I actually picked this up in Lakeland

Thanks Romeo. You can get them at a Fastenal store (nuts, bolts, etc.) or at a Lowes, or home depot. Lowe's and Home depot is a little bit more money, but not too much more. Thanks for watching!

I’m using the galvanized, but it does require touch ups periodically. It’s also cheap

Thank you. So far, no cons. Works great, I just open it towards the back. Out on a trip right now in Georgia. It's working great

Thanks!. I chose going towards the rear because I have that small light rack on the back and this way, allowed me to slightly tuck it between the rack panels. Gained about an inch. Also, I could just pull in somewhere and not have to worry about opening it towards the side. But really, you could do it any way you like. I'm sure there is a way with the cover. You're right, the cost savings are huge. There is another guy who contacted me, below I think, that made his own version using unistrut and it's taller.

Thanks. I'll check it out next time I go to use it

Not exactly but you can figure a clamp system out and clamp to to the bed rail. I have another video of how to add the bed rail system for cheap, too

@@EvolvingMale I’ll check it out thank you !

No sagging at all. Is very sturdy. I dont miss he tailgate too much. I could always turn the tent sideways if needed. Thanks for subscribing!

Smittbilt. and thanks.

I went to a Fastenal supply store. They’re everywhere. You can also order from Grainger.com

The aluminum bars came with the tent. They are meant to go like that. The black ones are the rack. I suppose you could do it the other way but it would most likely be more difficult to man handle imo

It's like 6 feet long with the tailgate down

It’s a horse stall mat from Tractor Supply. I thinks it’s around $35. I had to cut it down a bit and used the scrap to make the two pieces directly behind the wheel wells. They stay in perfect if you cut it tight.

Smittybilt. It's the cheapest one you can buy for rooftop. It's very nice (it ought to be).

@@EvolvingMale right on. I appreciate the video. Aloha

@@braddahryan you're welcome. thanks for watching.

It's called Unistrut. You can find it in the electrical department at Lowe's or Home Depot. Or a local Fastenal store.

@@EvolvingMale thank you

@@kikiarnie9726 you’re welcome.

The unistrut? Fastenal or sometimes home Depot. The attachment hardware was from home Depot

@@EvolvingMale got it thanks- I'm ispired and will get to this in the spring

It’s a horse stall mat from Tractor Supply. It works fantastic.

Thats my video above. I've got all kinds. Also another one coming Sunday for a in bed rail system.

Any recommendations on a mic. I started to look that up once and never found anything I understood

Also, thanks

No. I sold it to another subscriber.

Smittybilt. Not regular size not the xl

@@user-cl3gz2hg3b Smittybilt.

Smittybilt. Thanks for watching

I sure do. Just today in fact. I'm actually out in the woods in Georgia right now. And hopefully got some other stuff coming up soon. Jeepin qith Judd in February. I had it off road, up and down some serious trails, before I made my first payment. I do not take it off road enough, or as much as I'd like. Too much working.

I forget what the weight rating was but I want to say it’s a crap-ton. I looked it up and it’s twice or more what you’re talking about. Another viewer made a rack that sits up near the roofline with unistrut and it’s holding.

@@EvolvingMale well, if Inread the chart right...you used 1 5/8" width 12 gauge, correct? Unbraced 5 ft span is rated at 650#. Thats one. Figure spreading load over 2 struts...that should be plenty. I need to watch your video on the side rails. Any idea how to.slot those angle brackets without a cutting torch?

@@normmuelleman2570 that’s sounds about right. Plus there’s a good bit of leeway figured in to their numbers. A Dremel too would work great and they are pretty cheap. I managed to use drill bit. Got lucky with hole placement. Also you could use three rails if you were worried about weight

@@EvolvingMale Can you share the link to the video of the roof height rack? I'm wanting to build one for my gladiator. Also when creating our own trail rail system like in your other video do you suggest going with solid backed unistrut pr unistrut with the holes as you mentioned might be a better choice in this video. Thanks! Love the content, subscribing now

@@ConnorMurray thanks for subscribing! I’d actually suggest getting the solid backed unistrut. The Pre drilled holes are big and not lined up perfect. But either way will work. The guy who did the roof high rack used aluminum, I believe. He messaged me on FB, and sent me some pics. If you message me on FB @evolvingmale, I’ll forward what he sent me, to you.

Your a bit of a troll, huh? Most people love them. In fact the major majority.
