Mini Bed Rack Quick Build

This is one of those mini projects which I use existing old parts that I have along with new tools to learn about those new tools a little bit better. I recently bought this SWAG off road finger brake and this is a simple and short metal brake project to re-purpose my old Prinsu Top Rack as a mini bed rack. What you guys think about this mini project? I'm sure you guys have many parts that you've re-purposed. Let me know some of your repurposed projects!

That's a great way to repurpose accessories you don't use anymore! I think if you add some gussets to your bracket design, they will keep from bending longer. Keep those 2nd gen mods flowing!!

Thanks for the input, bro. That's a good idea and you'll definitely see how this idea evolves. Thanks for watching!

I did something similar to my 2gen. I used electrical rails from HD and mounted them almost flush with the bed and bolted a rifle case for storage.

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching

Hay Karl what’s up. Iv been working on my Tacoma just got the rear brakes finished. While working on the first one I was wondering how would Karl do this spring.
Next is the valve cover gasket’s. Then next will be the timing belt.

Those springs are a bit of a pain. I used locking needle nose pliers to get a good grip on them. Good luck with the rest of the work and thanks for watching!
