YES! John used that for the inside roof of the Jeep to mount the radios. It works fantastic.

Unistrut is fantastic! I used it on a roof rack I built for my H-3, mounted my spare the jack an extra fuel tank. Also built a little mount for a small pipe boom to swing stuff on and off the top of the truck. Keep up the awesome videos.

Awesome setup 👍 Thanks for giving me the idea of using unistrut as a mounting bracket.

Nice! Very well thought out way of attaching the boards!

These mounted on the underside of the cover would be cool . Could open it up and unbolt them when needed. Out of sight for security

This is very cool and good info that I can use for sure. Thank you!

very useful information for mounting stuff to my flatbed truck

It would be hard for me to give up all that flat real estate but what works for you is good. I think I would of mounted one on each side of the box(outboard sides) because you never know when youd want to carry wood, atv, bodies....etc on that top.Love your videos.

I'm just tickled that you still have your old truck. I love your truck and you know better than anyone the hundreds of memories you have with her. I'm not going to point out anything as far as recommendations, right now, I'm just enjoying your real world issues and seeing your old truck. LOL. Keep up the great work my friend.

Great idea and great video! I'm thinking of using the Unistrut for my roof top tent on my truck bed.

Well done 😊

Great idea and how to video

Well done Jason.

Very cool idea Jason looks professional

Great video. Curious about security. A coffeshop visit could cost loss of boards?? Thanks.

Excellent info thank you. May I know what you used to mount the hi lift jack and the shovel ?

The diamondback raised pattern creates a gap under the unistrut. I would feel safer with a good filet of sealant around the bolt hole between these two. An easy fix is on the inside I would put a sealant filet around the bolt hole, then a flat washer, then the lockwasher and nut to make a for sure water tight seal. Those knobs on top are going to vibrate loose so you might want keeper pins there also.

Awesome, one bit of advice , if I may. I would suggest you put a lock washer on the pegs because as I know for sure , I have nuts come loose all the time in this big truck due to the vibration. ? How difficult was it to recover the recovery boards?

That is a handy custom solution. TIL about Unistrut.

Not gonna lie.... I cried a little when I saw that you have no firewood inside the truck bed. :P

I have an electrical background. I have a Converted Cargo Trailer that my bed is made from Unistrut. I have vertical 1-5/8 Unistrut that have the Unistrut trolley to raise and lower the bed to put my dune buggy in and out. I have a set of MaxTrax to mount. I also have a box of spring nuts. Thanks for the ideas.

Did you put a washer and lock washer on the bolts? I'm installing a bike fork on the top of my diamondback. Thanks!

Your friend has a nice shop.

Can you provide what high lift jack mount you used to install on your diamondback?

Thanks for this video. Unistrut is a pretty good idea, cheap and reliable. I just wonder how you ran the solar panel wire into your truck bed. Thanks again.

I’m late to this. But do you have some information on the solar panel?

When you said Uni-strut I guessed you were hanging out with a sparky . . . They think the world is built out of Uni-strut . . . LOL. Nice project!! Peace

When are you going to add a winch you need one can’t wait for that video

I can’t wait to see the Kia at work. I hope you put it through it paces. And don’t be easy on her. I’m sure there’s lots of doubters. The best way to prove its capabilities is by going to all the places where you normally go and doing what you do. What are your plans when you get it and do you have any doubts about it capabilities. Ground clearance etc.

Heyyy!!! Very very nice! Thanks so much for the shoutout ( 1:59 ) - really appreciate it! This Unistrut stuff is so awesome...simple, strong, and versatile. Nice, clean, clever approach for your traction boards. I really like your knobs too, that's a great idea. I'm probably going to reconfigure my rack a bit now that I've had some time to use it and will finally get around to painting it at that point. Anyway, looks great and thanks again for the nod. Love this channel and looking forward to seeing the Kia evolve!

Nice job Jason. Are the studs long enough if you want to mount 4 recovery boards?

The Unistrut gives you some fore and aft adjustment with your adjustable stud, but what if you buy new recovery boards and there's no holes in the recovery boards that line up with the Unistrut bar itself? I suppose you could drill a hole through the new recovery board.

Another idea might be to have them as a cover over the jack and shovel.

Just wondering why you have the solar panels on the cover? Is there another video I need to watch?

Hay Jason, just a thought. HiLift a has neoprene boot to go over the jack head. If you get one it'll keep the dirt and crap out of the head. It also works well in the winter to help it from freezing up with snow in it.. Just a thought, as it's always nice when your jack works when you need it..

I would have have mounted them horizontal across the diamondback, because that would give you the ability to change the position of the studs to accommodate longer boards or boards with different spaced center holes and, once the studs are through the boards they could not ever work loose. The way it is currently set up, the spring bolts may ( I know, very slim chance) work loose and slide back or forward in the Unistruts. I'm sure this will work fine, but you're kind of stuck with that size now, unless you mount new boards at an angle. You could never go shorter, though.

unistrut is a great idea,i reccomend using butyl tape instead of silicone

I think I would have just put the recovery boards in the bed of the truck during mud & snow season. I do like your solar panel mounting.

Duhhhhh I feel like a dumb shit. Here I am up at three in the morning micro engineering a project in my head, and You just solved it.Unistrut.Can't wait to see the new rig.You taking it to Blaine this year?

Anyone have any ideas on how I could use this possibly to mount a fire extinguisher in the bed of a Tacoma with a rail system? Or does anyone have any other recommendations? Thanks

👍👍🇨🇦

Where’s the Telluride?!

0nly 0ne Thing. I think you need to PLUG the 2 end's of your Knob's. S0 water can't stand in both of them.

You know you’re gonna have to tell us how you made the knobs...

Watch out, now the prices of uni-strut are about to sky rocket....

I use to like your videos bet 15 minutes of rambling, wow! Drill holes, place bolts in holes the end...
