Cheap Rack

[AmishMike]

I know, you get what you pay for.......I just came across this rack on Northern Tool-

With a little modification in the way of gussets or cross bars, it could be useful.

p.s. I am holding out for one from Dissent.

I picked this one up from Amazon

Powder coated Aluminum. And flat top bars are good for things like the roof top tent.

This one I got is fixed height, but thanks to the gladiator having low bed rails compared to cab height it doesn’t look too dorky.

How much was it, as it shows no longer available. There is a different one recommended above it, possibly same rack?

Oh shucks!
Well I paid about $225 I believe. They had a few vendors all with similar racks at this $250 price point.

This is the better one than the one I got. They have accessories like a rear headache rack. As well as a roof overhang. I had my eye on this one as it seemed to be the better make. Mine arrived a little dinged and dented as I think there was definitely savings in the shipping and packaging.

Looks to be high enough to carry a ladder over the cab. Is it strong enough to carry some lumber(not much but a few things)? How quickly can it be removed/installed?

It’s rated for 800lbs or so. And it’s about 4-6” over cab height. Its quite solid. Once it’s adjusted, to remove its basically it’s taking the 8 J hooks off. Probably could put wing nuts or something on it to make it easier.

I also had a roll of neoprene rubber I cut up and added to the feet and contact points so it won’t marr or scratch the plastic rails or paint underneath. Cheap and easy to do.
