Very nice rack............and I don't normally say that to a guy.

How did you attatch it to your truck.

Thanks! When I bought the truck the front of the bed was smashed towards the cab bad and couldn't be straightened out. I needed to fill the gap in front of the toolbox so I started out with a treated 2x4 painted black and bolted it to the toolbox and bed rails. I have the rack attached to that right now. It was a quick hillbilly job to get ready for plowin. I've since boxed a piece of steel tubing in to replace the 2x4, just waitin for a slow day at work to replace it.

Thanks man. If I can make it similar to something I can buy and do it for a considerably lot less, I'm all about it. Not to mention I love workin with steel, especially welding. Any little projects I can do to keep my welding skills fresh. I've done a few small tack jobs here and there but I really haven't welded in about 10 yrs. until this rack. It was pretty ugly at first and a few welds were ground out!

Thanks. Have to say they are my favorite to. I have a video of them, I'll see if I can load it on here. They are maxxima brand, I never heard of them but the price was right and I'm happy with them, good quality. If you need and type of led light, I mean any, PM me and I'll send you the seller info. They have all kinds of stuff, truck parts, lights you name it and cheap prices.
