Simple brackets made from some angle extrusion. I’m planning on cleaning up the edges and adding some holes to properly mount the wiring, then getting them powder coated.

can I get a close up of your rack? strapping down ww boats is the only reason I want a rack.
@Casemler does this close-up do it for you? The beef rack bars so far work really great for tying down ww boats. I think the round bars would be just as good if not better.
4 kayaks is the most I have put up there so far.

Awesome man.
What camps did you stay at? Any spots give you troubles?
We did the trail the opposite way you did in 2018.
Climbing Hardscrabble might have been the sketchiest spot for us.

We stayed at Gooseberry A and Hardscrabble A. Didn’t have any trouble going this direction but there were definitely a few spots where I was feeling the width and length of the truck. Only had to pull one 3 point turn though haha
Did the descent down to hardscrabble in the dark after watching sunset at the top and was definitely stoked to not have to drive up it the next morning. How was descending Murphy’s hogback? Seems like the exposure there would definitely keep you on point!

We’ve been lucky enough to have volunteer drivers on the White Rim so we could ride the whole route. But the last time around our driver asked me to take the wheel for the descent down Murphy’s. Understandable, I wouldn’t want to take someone else’s vehicle down it either. Anyway, it wasn’t bad at all in low-range…
Thanks for the great photos @mode7. Can’t wait to get back there next fall.

I didn’t think going down Murphy’s Hogback was too bad. Up and down hardscrabble seemed sketchier to me for some reason.
Maybe it was just because that was the first technical section of the trail in the direction we went. Plus being from mostly flat Ohio and one of our first off-road trips it was a little scary for the girlfriend. Haha.

I was zooming in on your photos and it looks like you have your own custom rack on top?
@Kwood Yup it’s just some 80/20 extrusion and brackets. It ended up being like $100 for two bars. Then like $60 worth of gfc tnuts

That seems like a good rack system. Low cost .Low profile too
Yeah it works well. Probably not quite at solid as the beef racks, but nothing I plan on putting up there is particularly heavy.
