OK, those of you that we're at Pararie City last time may remembering helping me get my bed rack bolted down. We were trying to get the last alignment before torqueing it all down. Then it decided to be stuck! And it was too hot out there to be wrestling with it. So I was going to just deal with at home.
Well, I give up. The front driver corner is still so tight I can't get it out. Tried pry bars and even bought a porta power. No go. I'm about ready to declare That any young lad who can pull it out can have it!

The rack mounts in 6 cups on the bed bolts. Any ideas

I was at Prairie city and it was tough going.... I am probably going to sell my rack and make a new one... But mine is a over head light mount with tire rack and gas cans setup.. So is one of the bolts stuck? is it wedged in so tight can not get the rack out? If you want to make a trip to Gilroy I am here and have most tools to get you unstuck...

First off, remember, I'm a moron.

What's stuck is the rack tube in the cup. Can't lift it out to get to the bolts.

Need to finish aligning holes for the clips thru the cups & rack tube. Them torque the bed bolt.
