I build a base that I bolted on in place of the luggage rack. It's a 1/4"x2" strap with Heavy wall 1 1/4" cross members that I had coated with RhinoLining. There are brackets on the bottom of the rack that straddle the 1 1/4" cross members and have a grade 8 bolt going through them to hold the rack down. I made it this way because the last rack on the camo suburban was bolted to the top and there was no easy way to get it off when you didn't want it up there. With this one I simply undo 6 bolts and lift it off with the tractor.




Revo that is a lot of $ cabbage $ just to not have a cord I'll stick with my Lightforce 170RM's

Thanks, been thinking about it for a long time.Just hadn't known anyone else who had done it this way. Didn't know how the truck would hold up.

looks really wide, should be plenty of room for everyone. Did you put in more supports from front to back before you put on the expanded metal?
Your smarter than I am at least you are working on it in the off season I wait till the day before the hunt and try to finish mine
