That looks really nice!
I am still debating reusing half of my old rack or just starting fresh.

Thanks man. You all helped with the design so a lot of the credit goes to the suggestions that you guys had. I am really excited to get this out in the trails.
As for your rack sean I think you had a good looking rack. It was functional and sleek. However I understand the desire to come up with something different as well.
I was really really happy with how easy cutting and welding the angles went with my outer frame. It gave me a very straight base to work with and it didn't warp hardly at all.
I have one bar in the center that is a 16th of center and it's bugging the crap out of me. It may get fixed and it may not. I really want to put the interior back in.
Don't bother for 1/16. At work, being within .063" is a good day.
This is very anti ocd lolQuote:

What would drive your OCD worse is seeing the step in the paint where you had to re-weld. Anywhere the paint was ground off (or sanded off), rewelded, and repainted will show up worse than being 1/16" off.
This is also a good point lol. I'm fairly pleased so far. It doesn't make much noise although it certainly isn't silent. It does not rattle at all and there is no looseness to the fitting either. It's ready for action.Quote:

Looks great!
I got rid of my noises (at least as best I could) by using tape to dam up areas where I thought the noise might be coming from. Then I filled those spots with thick weatherstripping from Home Depot. It probably wouldn't have lasted more than a couple years, but it was easy to install.
Pretty sure it comes from all the nails lol. The 4runner isn't very aerodynamic anyway but I might try taping a valence to see if it helps.Quote:
