GTFO of my thread if your just spewing useless information. Your "wheeling" probably consists of driving down a muddy road. This shows that you are just another web wheeler.

So how do you guys think 1 1/4" emt welded would be. I just want a lightweight rack that is cheap and fuel efficient. All that will be up there is a spare and maybe some camping gear. Now don't get me wrong I like your rack but just want to go with the easier and cheaper route (for now lol) I already have a rack picked out later down the road when I have enough money that a vendor is selling for $800 but that's too much for me right now. I won't be doing severe off roading just light to moderate. Any ideas?

I bet he wears pink shirts and is also so worried about his appearance! Gotta mall crawl and get his hand cream and his facial mask and a manicure and pedicure while he's at it

Thats the key, Milk just makes you feel better after your sick. Please please please do everything in your power to avoid getting galvy poisoning, after you get it the first time, everytime there after its harder to avoid and it feels way worse. I've seen it happen to many of my co-workers and have been fortunate to have never experienced!
