So due to the Texas Raptor run coming up I was needing some help with securing all the stuff I will plan on having with me in the truck. Need a place for the tow straps, tires, and fire extinguisher. So I decided to build something cheap and fast to do the job. It will mostly be used for stuff like a run but you use it for other things like maybe camping. Made out of 1" square tubing 14 ga and the 2 3/8" round tubing that's schedule 40.
I welding on 3/4" washers to the round pipe and welded the square tubing to that to start making the cage. I haven't completely finished the cage obviously from the pics but you start to get an Idea of what its going to look like.
The cage will hold a bigger cooler or something like that for anything you want. Then on each side of that a tire will fit up right tied to the cage. I haven't mounted the upper loop to the rest of the cage due to space in the garage for now. Also, D-rings will be added to it to strap the tires and cooler down. The fire extinguisher will be attached to the back of the cooler cage between the two tires.
