- This is the long detailed edit of this project, check my other videos for a quick cut version. Let me know which one you like best in the comments!
Made a truck "ladder" style rack for my buddy Randy's four door pickup. I used 1 inch EMT conduit, sketchy? Or good to go? Watch the build and let me know what you think!
More rack builds coming in the future, stay tuned!

I love Benchmark flap wheels, awesome stuff
That was great, well done on the rack and video.
Hell yea that is awesome. I've got a pile of bed frame/angle iron, I'm thinking about make one myself.
Love it! Great work
Dude! Subscribed!! This may be a low buck build but your fab skills and creativity are anything but!
Thanks!
Arch Flash burn 😂
Great job. This is exactly what I want so just checked with my local home depot...$33 each for 1" conduit.
Ill just have to wait for the economy to collapse then i can afford to build this by bartering with food.
It's crazy! The last project I did was spring and prices were normal. A friend wanted a rack this fall and I said no problem, look at prices and was blown away.
Awesome job! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
This is exactly what i need right now its a damn shame u dont live in California
I dig it bro
Hey bud nice job, I can learn a few tricks from you I am sure young lad lol.
Thanks! Appreciate the youthful thoughts
Wow...amazing...speechless 😁.... I been looking to build a roof rack myself with strut but I been skeptical about the weight....It never occurred to me EMT can hold almost 200 lbs wich is competitive with factory roof rack for $800. Thanks for the idea...I'm going to try it. 😁..what do you think if I use rigged 1" conduit?... would it be stronger or just heavy on the truck?...thanks again.
The 1 inch emt used here is great for its weight and strength. If you need stronger rack i'd suggest going with steel tube, i've built two racks using 16 gauge rectangular and square tubing. I'll get those videos up too sometime.
Building the rack supports with 1" emt rn
Pretty sweet! Did you consider following the contour of the camper shell to narrow it down a bit on top?
Thanks! We wanted maximum space for gear up top but wouldn't be much trouble to narrow up and follow the shell.
Thanks for the video, there aren't many out there like it.
How leak proof is this whole system? Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like there's a 1/4 in gap between the shell and the bed of the truck in the spots without the attachment plates
Can't say for certain, but haven't heard any complaints. Few layers of weather stripping to fill the gaps.
You got my sub at Subaru brat...
One day she'll live again!
Who did the welding? Hellen Keller?
Absolutely
Are the bikes on the side street legal? Great work!
Thanks! I've never had nor heard of any issues with the bikes.
@@FullFaceAndy cool. I just made a Tacoma video myself.
Right on I'll have to check it out!
welding fumes? what precautions do you take? cool rack!
Yeah when you burn the galvanized coating the zinc fumes are toxic. I wear a respirator with appropriate filter.
@@FullFaceAndy what type of filter?
@@brycewalker1480 pretty sure I use the 3m 2091, but of course double check for coverage of zinc oxide.
Where can you find that plastic platform material and what's it called?
It's called polymax poultry/kennel flooring and I get it from farmtek.com
Where do you buy the PolyMax from?
Farmtek.com
How much to make me one exactly like that one.
