Good work on the rack. Looks good...


It does quite well, except for one mount where I made an error on drilling the hole. As a whole the rack is very solid, you can rock the whole body by pushing on the rack, no visible play in the mounts. Just to be safe though I will be putting strips of rubber where the legs touch the gutters in order to eliminate any wear the metal on metal may cause when bouncing around.
