Hello!
I have a temporary but solid solution right now, but, I would prefer something a bit more streamlined with some mounting points. I would prefer to keep my Softopper as it keeps things out of mind, out of site when I'm in town. And it helps protect my gear from the elements as well.
So my question is. Has anyone built their own, and what material did you use? I'm leaning towards aluminum and I'm taking a welding class next week. I don't expect my first attempt to be stellar but hopefully functional. Here is what I have setup right now. I've approached two handfuls of fabricators and they are either too busy, unresponsive, or not interested.
Vantech P-3000 Ladder rack
Softopper
Custom milled aluminum mount where the ladder rack and Softopper frame attach.
Any advice or input would be very appreciated.
