Here are a few pics with everything tacked together and sitting on a crate waiting for final welding and paint (waiting to use a MIG as I don't want Fluxcore splatter balls every where hehe)

Nice! Dude you're honestly inspiring me to continue with my original plans for my truck

Sneak peak at the RTT mocked up on the rack

One more hole to drill, then it's getting primed for some testing to see if there are any changes I want to make before the final coat

Here are some pics of the rack and tent mounted up, all bolts in place and all that is left is painting it with primer tomorrow when the weather warms up enough to paint!

I'm so stoked it all worked out like I had planned!

I switched the ladder to open to the other side, going to be testing it out this weekend.... If it doesn't snow too much!

Well the SungTop will be coming off and the RTT and bed rack will be going back onto the truck next week in prep for the H4O wheelin' trip to the Walker Valley OHV area March 28th.
I am going to be giving the rack some love and updates before putting it back on for the season:

• Adding a "table slide" for our camp table on the underside of the the rack, much of the inspiration came from the FrontRunner setups.
• I will also be adding a pair of quick fists to hold a shovel next to the Hi-Lift
• Painting the rack black (spent the last year in primer)
• Add LED cargo lights to the bottom of rack/tent

Anything else I have missed that I should think about doing before mounting for the season?

Going to get a quote for how much to bedline the rack this afternoon...

No other suggestions?

If bed liner is crazy expensive, you might look into powder coat.

Well Google lied to me, again, drove out to where there is a Line-X, just to get out there to see that it's now an empty building..... I guess they moved to a new location, and at thAt time of day it would be a 45 min drive there an 30 min back so I just went home.

I think what I'll do it just pick up a DIY bed liner kit and just do it in my back yard..... If the weather is willing to work with me that is

If you were closer I could get you into my powder coater. Wanna leave it down here for a couple weeks? [emoji41]

Extra tie down points are always helpful
