i have a baja rack for my taco... really considering it for the 4runner.......

 

Sorry guys, I'm a GOBI snob.

 

I’m considering fabricating one, then take it to get powder coated or use an automotive paint.

The design is simple and I weld, shouldn’t be too hard.

What do others think? She’ll out $1000-$1600 or building your own for less than $500 if you could do it, and have confidence you’d do a great job.

My guess the powder coating wouldn’t be more than $250, the 1” steel tube 16g would be $30 or less, 3/16 plate steel ad have the brackets bent $50 minimum charge at a shop. Stainless steel bolts and other hardware $40, steel mesh $25

My other thought was to start making racks and selling them. There has to be 500% GM on these things. The Gobi rack is nice but a joke price if you ask me.

 

Relentless Fab. It's on their secret menu so you won't find it online

 

Has anyone seen the ARB Flat Rack?

 

Did it require drilling?
