Unfortunately I'm not out east But I am central. If you have any welding skills at all it's easy to build a rack. Even if you don't have any skills, you can buy a cheap welder, a bottle, and all the materials to build it with for less than some of the custom racks I see on ebay and such. I aready had the tools but the cost of material was around $100. thats including the Thule lockable mounts that I bought off ebay for $40. I have made some changes to it since its conception. Originally I mounted a ferring on front for less wind resistance and put 2 6"KC's up there too. Well I found out quick that people that put lights up front unprotected either never go wheeling, or they constanty have to readjust them. Anyway Off came the rack and the lights. Then it was back to the welder. Now the light mounts are protected from limbs and such. I also fabbed up a high lift mount and a shovel mount. As far as weight goes I have hauled 300 6" cedar pickets on, half of a Jeep, and every thing else that won't fit in the back. Storage dimensions are roughly 6'x 4'. Go to page two for some pics of the rack. I will get some new ones of the finished product up ASAP. CJ <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> http://members.cardomain.com/89mudslinger
