Well it may be a few months. My 14s are still good.

SpudRider 07-08-2011 04:05 PM

That's OK. We are a patient group, Brother Allen. ;)

I need to do a little adjusting, but I couldn't build it for $100. My neighbor found it for me when he was doing a service call.

Looks like nothing but a headache to me. LOL! :lol:

I need to make it about 2 inches narrower and then trim about an inch from the bed rails to close the tailgate.

Not sure what kind of truck it was on, but it is pretty nice and the rear bar can be removed with two pins.

I will be using the saw, welder, and grinder in this week.

MICRider 07-31-2011 02:11 PM

That is a nice rack! It'll come in handy for hauling long light items that don't fit in the bed :). We had a rack on our farm truck and it was amazing how useful it was, definitely a good find for $100 8)

I use the truck alot for hauling things. I believe it will be a good investment for me. I didn't have a good way to haul ladders before and I will probably have some new side jobs coming up soon too.

Some friends are looking at buying some rentals and need me to look after them.

FastDoc 08-01-2011 06:03 PM

Sounds like a good gig.

How's the Ranger running lately? How many miles on it now? :D

Weldangrind 08-01-2011 06:27 PM

Good score!

Before you do any chopping, it looks like that rack might fit over top of a canopy, if you're so inclined. I often see Ranger canopies on CL for cheap or free.

katoranger 08-01-2011 08:39 PM

I already have a canopy in the backyard. I am going to put a small vee in the uprights to let each side in about 1 inch and the level the base rails again. My canopy is the extra tall kind, but it would probably still fit.

The rack weights about 150lbs at most. I can slide it off and on by myself.

katoranger 08-03-2011 11:55 AM

It is almost exactly two inches too wide.

I think I can grind these welds on both side and then just slide each piece of angle inward one inch and reweld them. Easily reversible later.

So I get to weld and grind.
