Understood....because I used 3/16" steel for the mounts, I knew there would be no flex in the steel, so when tightened, they would hold tight. You could rock that Jeep all over by the rack when it was installed.

Sold the rack to a buddy a while back...gonna chop my top...

Looks good man. I like the EMT racks. I've made some and they are stout once done, if braced right.
