Thank you, Dave! That's a lot of good information for not documenting it. :) I forgot you weld everything, so I'd need to have someone help out. I've considered those aluminum tinker-toy pieces for putting something similar together sans welding, but at more cost. The design is simple, though, and might fit better with my plan than the storage areas. I just want to make it easy to slide the cooler out, and raise the cargo area floor a couple inches to make a flat surface with the rear seat backs.
I appreciate you're posting this,
Steve

Be aware that these are too bright to be used on public roads, and you effectively lose functional fog lights going this route. Think of them more as flood lights.
That 80/20 extruded aluminum stuff is pretty awesome. My gear platform in the back of the van is made of 3/4" plywood and it does well, but I really intend to remake it next year out of 80/20. The new trend in roof racks is to use extruded aluminum with stamped/water jet cut end pieces, we're going to be seeing a lot more of that stuff in the next few years.

Yep, the PrinSu roof rack will be one I'd seriously consider if my current basket/kayak rack/bike rack/awning setup doesn't work out.
My only concern with the PrinSu is that the entire load on any ONE crossbar is in a shear/bending load on the fastener in the end. There is no other mechanical support. I'd almost want to laminate a second, smaller shelf behind the side pieces to share the load.

Today I installed a set of LED under hood lights

Depending on the fasteners used it could be ok. I had my civil engineer wife do the load calculations to tell me what tubing to use for my roof rack, so I cheated.

Seems like for $1k+ orders they could toss in the decals for free. Sweet gear though.
I made a quick time laps video of the lift install. Now I just need to get off my bottom and but on my wheel spacer so I dont rub my long arms when I turn hard all the way.

Drove around and took some pictures, just waisting time until I got the notification that my led pods arrived. 3rd time ordering from Nilight on amazon. And I am still 3/3 with receiving a perfect order. Many of the reviews talk about water damage and missing stuff. I guess I am just lucky
The ones I added to the order are different from the freebies they usually send out...
Last minute pre-flight check lead me to replace the noise makers in my truck.
These are in really bad shape, and I wouldn't be surprised to find out they're original (9years and 130k miles)

Wired up the bumper bar, the stock headlights suck and I live out in the county, so maybe I won't hit a deer this year? Those are cheapo Chinese bars, about $80 for the pair. So far the rack mounted bar is doing well, it's been installed for about 6 months.
