Toyota pickup rack

admin

Just a small rack to help move materials, ladders, my canoe, etc. made mostly from some left over 1.5" 0.125" wall tube. Cheers! ~Justin Manufacturing EngineerWWU Vehicle Research Institute c/o 2010

Reply:Looks OK to me. But I would add gusset pieces running across the bed too, like the two you have running fore and aft on the sides. This will stiffen it up some, from moving side to side with a heavy load resting on it. Plus it gives you another place to use as a tie down point on each side. But that's just me.

Reply:Nice work.  I hate it when guys use their cabs as material racks.  The guy before the guy that had my 89 Yota 4x4 before me was a carpenter, and used the cab for a rack.  I've since built a full rack from round tube.-AaronJet 17.5" Drill Press1942 South Bend 16x84 Lathe1980s Miller 320A / BP --- 2013 Power Mig 2562012 Jet 7x12 Horizontal BandsawVictor O/A Setup

Reply:Looks good. I like the fact you can remove the rear when you dont want it in the way. Thats the way I made mine and I love it. If you cant fix it with a hammer, it must be an electrical problem."Boy, everyone starts with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience.
