Yup! I had to go get a Christmas tree back in Dec and this is what I came up with. Check it out:


The only expense was the cost of the JCR brackets, and welding wire.
Its not done, as I can add to it in the future.

Well it is different and took some imagination. The corners look to be in the air some, does it bang on top of your rig when going down trails and stuff. What kind of things do you have planed for it? Good start, good job.

Maybe add a second tier, more bracing, and some lights....dunno.
RIght now as it is it can handle smaller loads like lumber. But later I may want to put the spare, and HIgh-Lift...Etc on it.

LOL I was wondering when that joke would land. 
You just have to lay it out on something large and flat. I used a 4x8 sheet of plywood over sawhorses.

Nice man. Pre drilled holes for the next level to be added. You can plug weld or bolt on if you have too. If you plan on sleeping up there, wear a helmet incase you roll off. LOL
