Great job on this rack, way to match the angle and lines of the cab! I want to build a similar rack for my Gladiator with Uni Strut too, and this video will help greatly in that build.

AWESOME! Thank you for watching! If you have not started yet look at extruded aluminum also. in bulk on the internet the cost is not too too bad. It is also much more versatile in mounting hardware and attaching accesories later than the uni I used. Also ships powder coat black already :)

You are my hero, I wanted to make a strut channel rack. But the rack to bed brackets I want to be 3/16" but no way to bend. I guess I need to find a local shop like you did! Love your design! and how sturdy it looks with all your bracing. SOLID!

Excellent work! I want to build a kayak rack for my Tundra equipped with a Gator FX tonneau cover and your video is the best inspiration I have found so far without using 2x4 lumber or having to weld steel or aluminum. Online products that work with a tonneau cover are ridiculously expensive. I will probably attach the 4 UNI Strut legs into the 4 original cavities in the tundra bed body (the ones covered with plastic pop-out caps). Cheers Phil

Thanks! I tested it out on a track the other day. Worked great, but I need more lights! And it would help if the kayak was a little higher above the truck.

Man! This looks awesome and I appreciate your thorough insights on your choices because I am pretty certain I am going to copy this almost entirely but for a Chevy pickup bed.

Did we solve the problem of WHERE to do your trailer? Remember, that is the only delay here.

My brothers friends shop, but I don't know the name. A lot of people told me that the bolt method would fail and I should weld it. I have gone 1 years with HUNDREDS of miles on my design. 30MPH cross wind on Oregon Inlet bridge and even had a bird strike at 75MPH. Still standing.
