The finished project looks fantastic. I really like the inclusion of the tonneau cover. The screws are going to fail unfortunately . It can withstand the static weight but with shear from going off road with the weight of the tent they will break and in the most inopportune location. Listen to Mac and bolt it in. I like the production quality and content of your videos, keep up the good work.
Thanks mate ! yeah will probably be changing to bolts soon, however all the weight is on the rail, the screws just hold it in position so hopefully is ok for now !
After bolting in the new rail I measured how high I wanted it then used autocad to work the angle out haha 😝 perks of being a surveyor I guess haha turns out it's 32deg 👍
2 years after the video and some of us are out here wondering why we're so dumb and can't recreate this for ourselves 😅.. Where do I find the measurements, the materials and the guy to do the job?
Definitely the way to go with a ute. Way too many people piling all that weight up too high. Bad for fuel economy, bad for cornering, bad for not falling over.
I know what "dime bag" means in American slang, but I'm a bit confused by its usage in Australian slang. It isn't being used to refer to ten bucks worth of drugs.
Just a option... Remove the horrible roofing screws and buy a damn nutsert gun and put in 10mm nutserts into the 50mm sides so you can just throw in bolts when ever easily and remove easily or put studs in the nutserts and just use some wingnuts on the top simple fabrication DONT USE SHIT ROOFING SCREWS... you can do better boys and hopefully others will learn what a nutsert gun and nutserts are they are the best invention since sliced bread
looking at getting rid of my canopy and installing this tub rack. what is the rough angle you folded the rack at? and how tall is it off the floor of the tub?
Sweet! Mac is like the best DIY person😄 nice job guys! Love it!😎
He is the Mac of all trades 😝😝

Well done 👍 great idea, thanks for sharing
Great idea nut inserts would be a great option to bolt it
Love this tj. Saw this few years back on mates wildtrack. Love the channel mate awesomeness!
Thanks Mike ! Yeah I like it down low
@@TJANDMAC thats what your wife says 😉
Can you please tell me how you folded the angles for the rack?
Cut wedge out of one side and bend together for weld 👍
@@TJANDMAClegend thank you 🤙
Yew glad to see another video boys, keep it up
Is there a list and measurements of the materials?
how do you join tent to rack without going through the tonneau? or am i braindead and missing the obvious
yeah i did mention you need holes in the tonneau to put the tent on :)
Ah yep sweet, cheers TJ. Love it!
do you know the length and angle or the cross sections cheers
Any chance you could let me know how long you made your top piece of RHS ? Would really appreciate it. Looks awesome & going to give one a try :)
Love to see Jamin lift his leg that high 😂
Love your work boys!
or me haha !!
Two Thumbs Up Lad's , looks mint AF!! Good job ;-)
Thanks mate !!😎
Hey man do you just push a small hole through the tonneau cover for bolting things on top of the rack ?
Yeah punch a small hole in it
What’s the name of the track your playing? Good idea with rack aswell
By The Sword - iAmJakeHill
Love ya work boys 👌🏼
Mind sharing the dimensions of the tub rack? 😜
About fucking time 🤣🤣, since you bought the nav ive been praying you would a mickey tub rack setup on it.
oh really ! haha well here you go then :)
Poor welding helmet at 4:58 then you see Mac taking care of it and putting it in a protective bag 6:55. Great idea with the rack though.
Hahahaha full busted i didnt even notice 😂 bloody tj lol
Love the vid mate awesome idea 🤙
How did you work out the angles ? Just pick a length and cut off the excess?
After bolting in the new rail I measured how high I wanted it then used autocad to work the angle out haha 😝 perks of being a surveyor I guess haha turns out it's 32deg 👍
Ah true. Yeh perfect. Thanks mate
My plan was the same as urs hugh! But tj made it easier haha
@@macpreston the joys of having access to autocad ay haha
Looks good
Thoses shed life stickers on the rangers front window look sick
badass haha
Excellent idea !

Haha it’s a pinned story on my instagram profile
Has a step by step
Definitely the way to go with a ute. Way too many people piling all that weight up too high. Bad for fuel economy, bad for cornering, bad for not falling over.
Couldn't agree more !
Bingo Bango Baby!!!!
Brillant Idea... Just reinforce the tub cover where it goes over the bars to stop the wear.
yeah looks like it needs it !
Hahah love the tradie references, mate you forgot ya swms!!. As a roofer them zips will hold up anything👌 lol
Contemplating doing this to my bt50!
haha yeah ! they are actually crazy strong hey
I'm amazed Mac's welds hold. 😂
na he does good ! haha
Makes 2 of us 😂
I know what "dime bag" means in American slang, but I'm a bit confused by its usage in Australian slang. It isn't being used to refer to ten bucks worth of drugs.
😝 yeah it's been repurposed haha but yes we are aware 😅
another good one mate keep them coming
Thanks Paul !
Hey man! Did you use steal box section or aluminium? Cheers 😊
we used steel for this mate
Awesome👌🏾
You should invest in a good selfie gimbal my bro 🖖🏽
Arrived home from school and I get this present 🤙
same
Ahh my perfect timing just as planned 😝
What tyres you running man?
MAXXIS Razors :)
Maca is just good vides what a clown love him hahah
10 sec before Mac said it, I said, "he's a pretty good welder for a sparky hey". So funny. I'm a sparky too so I know what he means 😄😄😄
haha ! yeah he isnt bad ey !
Welding is electricity so i guess it makes sence 😂😂
@@macpreston Haha, that does actually make sense bro. Nice.

agreed, just need a nutsert gun haha its on my list :)
i wat soo it not level on tub
Saying dime bags after finishing a weld makes said weld 10 times better. FACT.
Haha spot on 😝😝
Definitely agree 😂😂
Righto, you’ve twisted my arm. I’m building a tub rack 🤌🏻. Haha sik video.
😝 get into it haha
Steel suppliers would have been the cheapest option. Be around 50 bucks worth of steel.
bloody never open on the weekend though hahaha oh well
Where can I get a pair of steel-toes like Mac's. 🤣 #OSHAapproved
haha definitely approved footwear
Hectic
looking at getting rid of my canopy and installing this tub rack. what is the rough angle you folded the rack at? and how tall is it off the floor of the tub?
1m wide at top, 30deg angle, sits approx 100mm above tube rails :)
Just a little welding tip, don’t weld with stubby shorts and no undies. Now there’s some Rayburn 😂🤣.
Speaking from experience too 👍🏽
😅 yeah I can imagine haha
@@TJANDMAC love the PPE tho 🤙🏽
Hahaha man my arm copped it after that day 😂 so i wont be trying ur trick lol
@@macpreston 😂🤣👍🏽. Love ya PPE tho 🤙🏽
Safety first 😂😂
Put some rivnuts in it 👌🏻
Chinese safety boots on point noice
#approved 😝
Need to work on that balance boys 🤪
