ZroadZ Rack

[Sigz]

Little Update. I finally got the rear gate that was missing from mine.


I have upgraded to a Tuff Stuff Alpha 2 and a Tuff Stuff 270 XL awning.

Any chance you could measure the length of the top and bottom bolt holes on the rear gate?

I'm trying to see if I can use this rear gate on another branded bed rack.

Thanks.

Sigz,

You asked the same question on a different thread and I finally got home to take pictures and measurements. Sorry for the late reply.

The bolt hole measurements for the rear gate attachment are:
Top: about 52 3/4" center to center
Middle: about 54 1/2"
Bottom: about 56"

I never would have thought to use this gate on another rack, but I can see that if you already had a rack and wanted to add a rear gate why you'd want the measurements. I've attached a bunch of pictures.

Another poster asked about what holds the rear gate open. It is just pinned with the same pin that holds the gate shut. I have added zroadz locks for more security.

Dude, thank you so much for taking the time to do that and share these! Very helpful!

After looking over my VRS KBVoodoo rack - I think this gate is going to be a bit too long on the top. I don't think there's much I can modify on the gate due to the top bushings position.

Man I would just like some sort of rear enclosure to have some security when camping/hunting.

I love my Zroadz bed rack, mainly because of the gates; it's great for transporting my two Great Danes. BUT, if I were to start again, Zroadz would not be my choice for off-roading. The Zroadz is a nightmare trying to attach equipment; everything is doable but not simple, whereas other products produce all mounting equipment for their product. I have actually debated selling my Zroadz and starting from scratch to save time and money.

What would you do if you started over?
