roof cage / storage rack / camping gear holder thingy

[gomulletgo]

I know the the pic quality is sh!te, they are all taken with the internal camera on my cellphone (external cam is busted)

I think you'll get the idea anyway.





Yes those bricks are balancing exactly like they appear to be



Scrap sheet steel waiting to be beat into submission



Trial fit up












Note how the cage dips down just after the sunroof

Trial fit up number two. It is all but done, just have to use alot of silicon and maybe some insulation tape

Laugh at will

Laugh at will

No way dude, that looks really good.
I was wondering why the step in the bottom, then you fitted it onto the truck.
Will you keep it on the truck all the time or only put it on when you go camping?

[muddyhilux]

y laugh at that dude,that is tidy

[gomulletgo]

awww shucks you're too kind, I think the pic quality probably makes it look alot better than it is. Yeh only fitted for camping trips, means alot less stuff to get off the bed at night, plus no more worrying about the chilly bin spilling ice/water all over the bed

[muddyhilux]

ive had the chillybin spill on the bed so many times ae,just sucks so ur completly right

[rokhound]

looks real good dude

Ya put a lot of thought into what you wanted, designed it, and built it on a shoestring budget using recycled stuff where you could, and I really like that!!

Thanks man, that's a hell of a compliment coming from you (I thought it would be the hardouts that would be the first to rip the piss )

Yeh my scrap steel pile always gets a hell of a work out :thumright:

Mint!! I love those welding jigs!

Yeh man, I have all the top gear in my shed, if you want I can courier you some bricks, chunks of wood and some bungie cords

thats tidy mate nice and clean and by the looks of it alot of planning

now all that needs is a nice coat of paint to match the truck

I was thinking maybe matt black (slimming I hear) as I think it looks pretty dam rude, so I want it be as inconspicuous as possible

To all the rest of you, thanks

[MATT4U]

[timotheus]

HOW DO YA GET TO THE BEER!!!!!!

Could you make a dispenser that rolls a can down through the open sun-roof?
Fang it fast enough and the wind chill might even keep them cold.

Like everyone else... Good work.
