seeing all the nice rigging, fabricating and better than factory wiring i picture jack as sorta a mad perfectionist scientist. I think he has one of the sweetest rangers on r5g.

This is a great write up! We were looking into this rack or the Xtrusion overland one and this makes this one more appealing ha! Your fabrication skills are very nice :)

Do you find the extension of the rack to the roof of your vehicle is supported enough to manage the weight distribution? It doesn't look like you have any supports anywhere for the top of your truck. Not a bad thing just curious how it's all been working!

OFC Ranger - content removed? The post just picks up on the bins, and leaves out the rack portion.

I apologize, but I am currently in process of removing all of my technical/DIY information for personal reasons.
