Still haven't welded it all together yet. Had to evict 2 jackholes and we've spent 2 days packing their crap out and repainting. I'll post pics when I finally get finished.

Sometimes in life you come across dilemmas... Do I weld my rack together or do I warm my fuzzy nuts by the fire and drink this JAck?

This was a bit more difficult than I expected. It's really hard to get everything square because a lot of this metal is a bit warped. Now that I have it all built and welded together my next decision is how to mount it.

Well, It's all done/ It was a really hard metal to cut and drill, pretty easy to weld. I didn't have a problem welding once I ground off all of the paint. I put 1x4's for the floor of it, and bolted them on. I just primered, and painted it. I think it turned out pretty great, it cost me $0 and in my opinion it looks better than most professionally made racks. Can't fit a bed up there though...
