New to the group and my first post. I have read a ton in so many categories and have found the information posted to be extremely valuable!

Here are a few pictures of my rack build. I will run it for 8-10 months and make any additional fabrication changes I need to. This fall I will have it sandblasted and powder coated. Don't mind the dirty shop.

It's the first one...... Mistakes were made :)

I like it. Would be cool to adapt that to replace the rear section of the cage on a 5 seater so It would act as protection for the rear passengers but also add overhead storage

I was looking hard at a 5 seater (Prior to purchasing the 3) and thought at the time if I got one I would modify a standard 3 seater roof and add a custom cargo basket to the rear roll bar. I ended up the 3 as the I wanted more bed space and it's rare I need to deal with more than 2 buddies. No one likes me that much :) I will say though that the honda bed rails are not as rigid as I would have liked. After purchase, I decided instead of resting the rack on the bed rails I would make it look that way 1/16 inch gap between the bed rail and rack with a bicycle intertube cushion/wear but actually have the weight of the rack and the attaching point in the bed itself. Time will tell if that was a good idea or not :/

Update-
Installed the factory winch, wire harness for the LED lights on the rack and tighten the rear springs. -Winch took about 4 hours.
-Rear springs took about an hour and a half. Removed tire and springs. I would have spent even more hours on it if @Cuoutdoors wouldn't have spent some time via email supporting though it. -Big Thank You-
-Wire harness was a little over an hour also. Mounted the two relays under the hood. I have ordered a 4 gang rocker panel with voltage gauge and 2 usb. This will be attached to a aluminum plate I’m making that’ll replace all the safety feature puplic announcement plaque. Got a project for next weekend.E07FFF5F FA41 4674 8B29 981B6F49F88B7A1176D6 66A1 45C8 BC88 0425D6C59185F06E7E32 6D3C 41F8 B27E 012701DF265D10299B0D D1B4 4723 A866 2DFFBA14991C5D75F413 D534 47F6 A58F 6FFA92A4FC8D

Thank you! I’d say way to much time hahah (prob 30 hours) but it’s been worth it. Lots of trial and error. Prob more error. I ended up adding a bunch more to it. Addition water tank and spare tire tail gate. I’ll get some pictures added.
