Actually my truck is not a mega. That is just the model truck that was used for the design. I am not sure that the extra few inches of space would be worth the cost increase and the larger turning radius.
This is a Rev 1 rendering of the headache rack that this project will start from. Changes will be made to allow me to maximize useable space in the bed.
I have never had the opportunity to attend one of these rallies. I am hoping this will be my first. Looking forward to seeing all of the unique rigs and meeting a bunch of you guys and girls.
I agree completely. I still to this day have a Geocache coin that I traded for in a ammo can cache. If it were cash, it would have been gone and forgotten.
As a family, we found a few dozen geocaches. Much of the fun was seeing the little treasures that others left. So many times the find was a cool waterfall or a spectacular view. Honestly, I think that is more valuable then any monetary treasure. Just my .02 cents.
The cost sometimes makes me second guess the design and various features I want to incorporate. But when I weigh it out I think the $300 added cost will be worth it. Guess I will have to work a couple extra days.
Part of my plan is to use the below Tubing Disconnects to give me the ability to remove sections of the rack with relative ease. Keeping in mind that the headache rack will remain installed, when I remove the cage I will have replacement tubes / Rails to install so it all remains visually...
I completely agree with you. If the rack is not designed with the intent of preventing a cab collapse in a roll over situation it will more than likely fail when it’s needed.
I do intend to tie the headache rack and tube section into the frame of the truck using the bed to frame mounting...
My goal for this rack is not just to support the weight of a RTT. Below is a list of goals for this build,
The rack must provide a fair amount of Rollover protection. (Safety First)
It should complement the styling of the truck.
Should be modular. I will not always run the RTT. At times I will...
Hey welcome @couchpotato23 I think its really cool that the first time you drove the rig it was a major road trip.
Looking forward to seeing what you do to your new rig.
