[QUOTE="BigH2OChief, post: 1591625, member: 41166"] Update on my test of the budget Hooke Rack. Shipping was super quick. Package arrived in only 4 days. No damage and carton(s) were intact. All parts were there... however the nuts for the Rivnuts were the incorrect size (too small). No big to me as I swapped all the hardware with SS hex heads and nylock nuts. The powder coat was actually pretty good however my youngest can lay better welds. Still All OK for the price though and its well worth the cheap ass price. I pulled off the gaudy logo on the front and replaced it with something respectable. I laid 3 coats of paint to everything followed by 2 coats of bedliner spray. It rained this weekend which paused progress but I was able to run PVC Bulb trim on the edges nearest the truck, back and front fairing. Then I mounted for two re-purposed Plano Gun Cases and moved my Traction Pads to the rack. It works perfect as it leaves a wedge at the PAX rear which will fit my WaterPORT. This week I'll solder up a wire harness for the front light bar and alley lights and run it to the engine bay. And lay a final coat of paint on the fully assembled rack . Plan is to punch holes in the truck and mount it next weekend.
