Well using right words in search gives more right results :crazy: I did find @IRONMAN's rack thread and would you like to tell me how your bed rack has held? Would you do something differently now, for example powder coat instead of paint or different mountings to bed?

I do love my rack and yes there are things I would change.
1- is the gas cans I used are garbage
2- I would like to put a bit more support for my tire carrier, it bounces just a bit and dented the bottom of my bed a bit.
3- I would like to incorporate a arm to lock in my gas cans and tool box instead of me using cables to lock everything in place.

I hate powder coating and definitely prefer the painting, I think you get much better coverage with regular painting.
I powder coated my bumper and it started rusting a couple of months later but my rack is holding up way better with no rust..

Drake mounts are pretty good, a lot of people here use them!

Design is looking really good! Can't wait to see the final results!
