"Show Us Your Rack-it" Results



The fellas at Trucksmart are at it again. Check out this cool custom headache rack we built for John and Andy over at the Rocklin, CA store. Their customer, Mike Patten from MJP Productions, requested a custom application for his outdoor media company's rig and we were up to the challenge.

As you can see we used the base design of our 5000 series headache rack, but added a few options per the customer's request. We welded in an extra cross member that worked to sandwich the dual port hitch receiver, allowing the installation and quick release of two cargo baskets that Mike uses to store his film equipment and field gear. We also built a custom overhang out of ¾" pipe and welded on 4 light tabs to receive some really trick Hella brand lights.



To round off this build we beefed up the support of the rack by eliminating our standard gussets and welding in ¾" pipe braces for the legs and the overhang. John, Andy and most of all; Mike were really pleased with the build. We love working with our dealers on custom jobs like this and creating new solutions for our Rack-it users.

Keep up the good work Trucksmart ... and if any of you are outdoors enthusiasts and are looking for media production of your adventures.
