Hey all,
Just wanted to share some pics of my DIY bed rack, which I finished this weekend.

Created from 3x1 steel, and bolted together so that it can be taken apart and stored at the end of the season.
I also used eye-hook bolts so that it has extra hook points for bungies etc.

Let me know what you think!

Does it feel pretty sturdy? Would you feel comfortable mounting a RTT? I was thinking of doing something similar but was not sure if I would want to mount a RTT on something I rigged together lol.

Very nice, I have rails across my bed and a cargo basket, however I kayak also and my setup does not allow me to go over the cab with the kayaks so they stick out to far in the back. I need to come up with a solution.

Egan, I have no problem sending you the drawings I made for this rack. Show them to any metal supplier and they should be able to make you one. Shoot me a message.

Yup, its very sturdy. The vertical rails lock in when you twist them in, and then are bolted to the bottom of the bed. I actually drove 30 miles with it on the truck with no bolts lol. Should be good for an RTT.
