I've been working on a utility rack for my pickup for around 6 months on and off. Stopped midway to build a bumper for my dad's truck. Loving the way it turned out. Let me know what you think! Last picture is of the bumper I made.

Looks great! How did you design it around the bed flexing from the cab?

Very impressive. How did you install it? Do some of the riser's coming off the rock guard slip into the upper rack or is it one piece?

Thanks man! I made a x member that goes I between the frame rails on the bed. Made bed mounts out of aluminum and bolted it straight to the frame. In theory the bed is now solid with the frame rails. The only thing that moves is the cab and naturally what little wobble you get from the actual rack itself.

Have you ever been on Expedition Portal? There are lots of like minded builders/Overlanders there.
