I have never posted before, so we will see if I did it right. Love to look in the fabrication and homebrew section. Just wanted to post my rack because I really like the ladders and have not seen one like it. Just step on the tires and your up. It makes it real easy to load and tie down. It's not pretty, but a fun Jeep never is. What do you think?

Thanks for the kind words. I am sorry, but I do not think I have any pics of the build. If any one is interested I can take some better pics of the mounting and bracing. It is braced very well on the under side that you cannot see in the pics. And yes it does have plate on the inside that it bolts to. Thanks again.

I thought about the tree thing when I was making it. That is why I did the bottom of the ladder with the curved pieces, to maybe help something slide over it. And also the tires and the flares are out past the ladder.

I'm trying to figure out how much you would have to price something like that if you were going to sell them to the public but with the labor involved building one by hand you could ask a thousand bucks for one and still not get paid enough.
I would have nightmares about grinding all those welds clean.ha, ha.
