[See, Complications in Travel, July 27, 2007]
Since this rack is a necessary accessory to the little Oriental Vehicle, It had to be repaired. The original design had leaned a bit too much in the "light" direction, and this contributed to the resultant ordeal. Some slight changes were in order. So here is the new, improved Fuzzy Truck Rack.
The Fuzz is still going for the "minimalist" thing here, just not too "minimal" he hopes. The main improvements, other than better welds, are the new Gussets. The Fuzz expects that these will add the needed rigidity and reenforce his questionable welding.
This whole affair consists of old bed-rails and scrap metal, picked up around town. Bed rails are cheap, but thin, and frustratingly hard to weld without burning holes though them.
So the "Brain" work was done, (if you can call it that) and it was time to put it all back together. The Fuzz will go though this, step by step, but not today. Its Burrito Night.

burrito night...mmmmmm, sounds tasty delicious..can we hook that up when i am home?!
Humm. That should work. I would have picked angle iron to make the rack out of. Thicker and heavier than bed rails, and still minimalist in nature. Nothing at all fancy about angle iron.
My truck kayak rack is made of PVC. But it does not need to support much weight.
LOL... that was my thought too!!! Burrito night....
And secondly...hope the welding goes well...
