Yak Rack

Here is a YAKRAK that I built for my Toyota P/U. Wanted to do it in Aluminum, but it would cost a lil too much for me right now. I still have plans to weld on some hooks for extra tie downs. I also decided to drill and bolt it to the bed of my truck, since it won't be coming off and on.

A couple more. Only the 1x1 support bars, ones at a 45 degree, are TIG welded, the rest was done with MIG. I used a friends MIG, and its and older unit that produces a lot of splatter.

Nice work bro! Looks like my ol girl has a nice place to rest on those long journeys! cant wait to see it up  close at GS6

Nice job, really clean.  I envy anyone that can fab quality projects.

that looks sweet and sturdy

nice looking welds!  did you rattle can paint it or powder coat it? 

It looks super clean and great looking welds too. I've been learning how weld. I have yet weld anything that looks so clean and uniform. May I ask roughly how much the iron cost you?

Very Nice!  Why buy when you can build!

Thanks everyone, it will get used this weekend!!! It is very strudy, but I didn't use standard tubing, so factory accessories won't fit. Of course I can just do some more modifications so they will fit.

I used flat black rattle can for paint.

It cost me $90 in steel. I could have saved $20, but chose to have all the pieces cut except the 1x1 45 degree pieces.

Beautiful work and a sharp looking setup.

Don't mean to bump an old thread but this rack is tits!     Gonna have to find someone to build me one when I get my yak.
