Lol sorry dude. My wife was sitting right next to me, couldn't respond to that. But yes, wide it would be. Haha
Lol, no man, I thought about it after I typed it. Felt like **** so I had to change it, no harm or offense intended, just a little TV-MA sometimes so...

I knew that was going to happen

Yeah dude. There isn't anybody that builds one exactly how I want with the strength that I want. So I decided to do it myself. It's going to have 4 3" pods, 2 30" light bars, and a 40". I already have all the lights and I'm building it so strong that I will be able to stand on it.:naughty:

Lol, yeah - if you want em' they're yours... I don't see myself getting much if anything for them on CL or LG so I just assume give to someone that'll use them. They both work great, the 11" just has to have the reflectors moved to the right place and the 52" has some moisture from all the rain, but I haven't looked to see where, but I'll see if I can pin point it after the little guy goes to bed.

Yeah dude definitely I'll take them. I can fix whatever issues they have. I'll be down there this next weekend. Would that work?

Bedlined and installed the rack today. What do yall think?

Has leds and stuff...

4 3" pods
2 30" bars
1 40" bar
1 48" farm jack
And will soon hold my other 35" spare wheel and tire.

I built it strong enough that I can jump up and down on top of my truck on it. Lol

If you're gonna step your game up you gotta build it from scratch. :naughty: I started with 3 24' x 1" tubing and 1 24' x 1" flat iron. Framed it, welded it, bedlined it, and installed it all myself. I'll finish the wiring tomorrow.
