Shipping on the Trail Rack is a flat $195. Total is $765 crated and shipped!

The Trail Rack frame is 70" long, about 80" total length with the light tabs and light protection bar included. For reference, the Monster Rack is 76" long, and covers as much of the roof as practical. If I recall, the entire roof from windshield to the back gate is about 79"-80".

When you leave a little room in the back to open the gate and a little room up front so your lights don't shine down onto your dash, 70" is about as big as you'd want it. If you want to cover the whole roof, click the "Monster Rack" link in my signature.

All the bells and whistles cost money! If a Trail Rack isn't in your budget, we can take off some included options and the price starts dropping quickly.

For instance, take off the 6 light tabs, the front light protection bar, and the Hi-Lift mount, and a basic rack with a heavy duty floor is only $435. Shop around for a comparable rack anywhere and you won't beat that price.

So, get a custom-built rack, fully welded, no bolt-together stuff, and save almost $100!

PM me with questions and ordering instructions!

Sorry if this is off subject but I found some 1.25" conduit from an old dog cage, is the tube to big to make a good roof rack?

Ill chime in while your waiting. Conduit will form a roof rack but I wouldn't trust my gear on a conduit rack.

I've had a lot of requests for kits, but I'm not going to offer one currently. There's too mny variables involved in me putting my name on a rack that someone else builds. I control the quality of these racks from start to finish, and feel good about putting my name on it when it rolls out of my door.

Now, if you would like to save a few $'s, I can offer one unpainted for less money, you just need to prep and paint it, or have it powdercoated. If you are interested, PM me.

Boy, it's been nice and cool in the mornings this week, feels like fall is right around the corner! Time to hit the trails, are you properly equipped?

Are you going to be anywhere close to Ohio by the end of the year? Would love to snag one of these beasts w/o shipping costs. Or anywhere close and I can meet in a neighboring state.
