    My first go at building a varmint rack

    Well after using a friends rack that was entirely too big for my truck, my cousin and I decided we'd just build one ourselves. We made the main frame out of 1.5" square tubing and the shooting rails out of 1" square tubing. Plywood floors and boat carpet. The rails are covered in foam and wrapped with camo gorilla tape. The base dimensions are 5'x4' and the floor/rails are 5'x6'. Click image for larger version

    We added a toolbox in there that has a 12v outlet mounted facing out and is wired directly to my truck battery using alligator clips. Click image for larger version

    Still need to clean up the wiring
    We have both welded a little but not for a long time so this was us pretty much learning as we went and for YouTube lessons and teaching ourselves I think we did alright
