    Ranger Hunting Rack

    Looks like everyone has gotten into building thier own racks.
    Here is my contribution. I already had the bus seat, so cost of materials was right around $80. I used 1" 11 guage for the main frame and 3/4" 16 guage for the rest.

    IThe short stubs under the rail fit into the stake slots on the bed and hold side to side.

    A ratchet strap under the bed holds it in place.

    On the test run to the lease a few weeks ago it was very stable. Chris road up top as I climbed it onto the trailer.

    With it sitting up higher, I still have room in the bed for feed or ice chests.

    Great job, I really like the integrated cooler spot, very important on those hot days to stay hydrated.

                  What are you going to do with all those core samples?

                    Stolle, the 11 guage is pretty stout.

                    Hank, I give them away to whoever wants to haul them off. I just can't get enough people to take em.

                        That is a nice rack. I have a couple van seats I need to do something with. Thanks for the idea.

                          Great looking rack, Clint.

                          I like that you can still haul things under the rack.

                              Used it this weekend. Two men riding up top, 15 bags of corn in the bed, and another 15 in a trailer.

                              Worked like a champ. It was very stable.

                              Next, Im going to hinge the seat so I can fold it down for transport. That thing catches a lot of wind.

                              Was also thinking how cool it would be to have a top drive.
