I started from scratch. But this is what works for my needs.

Now that is really nice. I didn’t see the box the first time. Aluminum? Any pictures during the build? What’s the weight empty?

not sure of the weight. not much more than the factory rack. the toolbox is aluminum. the rest is made out of EMT and 16gauge steel.

Very nice and thanks.
Mig welded?

Sharp looking and functional design. @12luck12 . Closer look at lighting additions was impressive. Got my vote for Best of show 1st prize!

just for kicks i got the bathroom scale out to the shop with the wife not knowing. this back rack is about 25lb more than the stock rack and fenders. I think if it was done in Aluminum it would be real close.

May I ask- why didn’t you make the sides higher? I’d think it would be more secure to put things ‘into’ it vs. stacking them and strapping or bungie cording them down?

Again- great work on the project.

Mine has evolved with every use.

I bought a SUV cargo roof rack off of Amazon for around $120, turned it sideways and mounted it on the factory rack. Then I took an old aluminum tool box I took off of a semi years ago and had sitting in the shop. Painted it with cheap truck bed coating, added a Kolpin dual gun rack for my shovel and ax, and called it good. Bought a Kolpin gun boot and wedged it between the box and the cage.

I don’t remember if I posted pictures on this thread for my newer rear end on my 500

I wanted to keep it low so if we put a deer or elk on it i did not have to lift it very high.

 

[Chuckerbird]

+1 on not wanting to lift them too high.

 

[bowhunterbill]

Good reason, nice deer. I’m hunting deep in the mountains so need to transport a camp and coolers.

Most of the hunting I do is around a farm field. Can drive up to whatever is on the ground. But it does pack a cooler quit well also.

Do you find that the rig feels top-heavy at all with a spare tire up there? I am considering where to place mine.

If you purchase the front bumper accessory from Honda it makes an ideal place to mount a spare tire. A piece of angle iron and some long eye bolts do the trick. See my photos in another section.
