Bigg50's build - Well sort of...

That looks really nice, got any hints on release date/price?

I believe it's available but not on their site. You need to call them. Price is around 1500.

I'm not a huge fan of other roof racks I've seen either but that one is such a low profile and the way it's made it looks sweet especially on your truck. Your trucks looking good I really like it and everything you've done so far. Can't wait to see the rest of the thinks you do to it.

Nice rack!

I went with a Smittybuilt which also required drilling holes through the roof. I haven't posted pics of mine yet though as I'm still waiting to put some lights up there. It looks incomplete right now.

Little update on the rack after putting it through the paces through a 500 mile trip through Northwest Arizona and Southwest Utah. It performed flawlessly. With the way I use the truck I was a little worried all the vibrations from heavy offroad use might create some sort of problem. Rack held up great. I'm considering getting a low profile pelican case to carry my recovery gear and throwing it up on the rack. If I did that, I could get rid of my storage bin in my bed rack and put a cooler in it's spot instead. We'll see.

Couple pics from the run. Full trip report coming soon.

Thank you and looking forward to seeing yours! I feel ya on the lights. I know what you mean about it feeling incomplete without lights. If you're looking for a good deal on some light cannons, I know Gordon has like 7 of them for sale.

Beautiful scenery in those pics! I have to make time to do some trips, I'm all wound up with working 60hr weeks, it's hard to let go of work!

Great Rack!
Do you think a Roof top Tent could go up there with the 3ooLB Weight limit? I would be looking to sleep two up top so probably looking at 375 max with the dogs... Do they offer HID light mounting options as well or just LED?

Cheers,
Austin

Absolutely. The 300lb is the max for driving load. Static (not moving) is 800lbs.

What size? I just ordered 6 of the 6.7" but I might use those to replace the 4.5s on my bumper anyways.
