hey thats cool. i just built one for my jeep. ive got about 140 tied up between metal and lights. its not that hard. also i used steel mesh for the floor of mine. thats prob. the most expensive part.
i bought more metal and now all the framing is sized up. just gotta weld it together tonight 
ima wait on the flooring of the rack till i find something that works best. it should be on the jeep tonight

when i built this one i used bbq grading (expanded metal) and it worked out great!!! i'm just waiting for my lights to come in and get installed!
i welded it and it came out bad the welding rod was old and it started to rain on me. 
ima have to re do it but ya thanks i might just leave it how it is. lol gives it character. kinda ill take a pic of it tomaro when theres light out. first time using a welder thats used rods. so ya learning proses but its fixable
