Looks stout knew it was not a normal rack, is that a long piece of plate welded full length of the roof and sitting in the rain gutter?

Yes, a long piece of plate vertical, and then a narrow piece of flat stock welded perpendicular on the bottom of the plate. Basically like an upside down T running the entire length of the gutter.

That's one heck of a cut to get a piece that long and narrow to fit in the rain gutter could have just used some round stock

This past weekend -
  • Replaced the cam driven vacuum pump
  • Installed new suspension, mild 1.5 inch lift thanks to advice and parts from Justin at Lucky8
  • Swapped the 235/70's for 255/70's
  • Cleaned the **** out of the interior - showroom clean now - trashed when I got it a couple of months ago.
  • Prepped the Tactical Rovers front winch bumper and Warn 10KS winch for mounting.
