Suburban High Rack - 08/20/15 10:28 PM

Building this one for an Imitation Hebrew for their place in south Tx. 6x10 platform, 4 swivel seats, cooler rack, front basket, and a light bar up front with some small ones on the back. It'll be going on the suburban with a ladder at the back.

Re: Suburban High Rack - 08/25/15 11:39 PM

That truck is awesome. Even better without the highrack.

Ramball, good work as usual. Looks like that's gonna turn out great.

How's it going to mount to the suburban? Just bolt to the roof or extra supports?

Re: Suburban High Rack - 09/02/15 10:53 AM

The rack looks awesome.
Posted By: Ramball36

Re: Suburban High Rack - 09/03/15 04:20 PM

Yesterday was a pretty [censored] day. Got all the uprights finished and knocked out the landscape timbers only to find that the rack had a little wiggle to it. We ended up spending 3 hours gusseting all the frame tie ins, top part of the rack as well as the rear. In the end I had to add some tubing underneath to allow the deck to "sit" on the roof rack like the landscape timbers were set up, problem solved it's solid as can be. Bad part about that is Goldy showed up while we were scrambling to finish painting the last of the uprights and wire it all up. I had to convince him to drop his trailer and lemme take it to him once it was done. I know that stung bc the trailer was brand new, and no man ever wants to let someone else try out his new toy first! We got it wrapped up and I got it to his house around 9:00 last night.

I also might add that the manufacturers intended use is only to be while stationary. If you fall out while it's moving don't come crying to me tryina take my 14 yr old pickup truck and rent house

I took extreme measures to make sure I didn't screw anything up that bad after almost blessing him with no access to the gas cap On Tuesday

That would have been hard to explain. Just drill a new hole in the side of the cab and re route the hose....

Walter looks great mike

Are you doing much off road driving in it? In our neck of the woods you can't go 100 yards without getting a flat.
