Thank you, I must say, however, that this is not as difficult as you might think. If you know how to weld even a little bit, doing is possible. Planning carefully and that the visual overview of what you are doing is the most important thing, however, everything can be done over again, lol.
If i would live in US I would have bought the finished product from vendors here but here in Finland you can only ask someone make custom one and it costs because they too are not done these before. However, I can say that it have been really fun to do this, and I would do again.

The problem with me is I have never learned how to weld, I have never been in a shop that has welding equipment. That's my issue.

I say again it looks great...

Hey @JanT your rack turned out great. I like the way you decided to mount the jack it was a good idea. I think it's just as good as one you would have bought from a vendor in the US but now you have the satisfaction knowing you built it yourself. What finish are you putting on it paint, powdercoat or Linex?

Some more questions for you @JanT :

- what's the diameter of those pipe sections you used for the bed bolts ? And the thickness of the plate welded to these sections that hold the hold ?

I finally received my tig machine, that's training time now !

I personally have one just like this:

RDFTS, is that a custom rack? I really like that design.

It is the TMX Covert Bed Cage with the optional jack mount.

Its been out of stock for more than a year and doubt it will come back as I heard the price raised to them plus shipping was killer. They order it from Krazy House Customs (KHC) so you can probably get with them directly.
