Thanks John, can't wait for this run. Be nice to see you guys again.
My sister is also looking forward to seeing you again, good times.

tried out the rack today, fit just right.
2 inches to spare on the top of the spare.






Spare tire stays put real nice, thought it might jiggle but it doesn't even budge.
Had the bed also Line-x the other day, $480 out the door. Thought it was a good price. Just the basic no premium cause I have my cover on 95% of the time.

That is seriously some shit to be proud of Ironman!! Mad skills I wish I had - the welding seems very intimidating. I've seen how hard it is to weld aluminum. I have the Outlaw Raptor Vertical Rack and it's pretty sweet.

Here's my biggest issue: The OTC Racing Jack ($217) needs a skid plate and mounting plate. Outlaw sells one for the Sears Craftsman Jack, but the jack is pure junk.

My jack is so similar to yours, but different. See pic below:

I would love for someone to be able to build the skid and mount!!

HELP!
Need ideas on how to get these out.
Am I gonna have to cut them out. Left one was super tight but got it to finally turn but that's all it does is turn. Right one will not even turn and I've broken 3 (T-50) sockets trying to get it out.
There isn't even access to the nuts on the bottom cause it goes down into the frame.
I can't even an area to spray PB Blaster, I have the RPG brace in that area and the hole is no more.
I really don't want to take it off.







IDEAS PLEASE!

My bolts were a bitch for sure. I thought there was no way to make it happen. I used a combination of an impact drill and a long handled ratchet setup. The impact loosed them up imperceptibly, then slow and steady with the ratchet got them moving. I was exhausted and ready to pass out.

My guess is mine were not as old or rusted, so that may have helped.

Also, I noticed with the Outlaw Raptor "bungs" (the part that holds down the rack), tend to get water inside and start to rust. Did you do anything to stop this problem? There is no way to stop water entering through the quick release pins and the the water can't escape easily. So it sits in the "cup" and starts the rusting process.

Glad the heating process worked for you!

I don't know how I missed this but DAMN! Thats a great job for sure and I bet it feels pretty good to say you built this when people ask who made it for you. A+ from me
