Safari Rack:
My friend, 80Jay, gave me a set of Publix(grocery Store) Aluminum Shelf racks, which can hold up to 1500lbs. So I took them in and joined them together, I painted them black. I then went to Home Depot and got 2 L shaped 1/8 steel beams. I bolted them up to each end so the racks would not flex. I then ordered some of the quick and easy clamps. and then I joined them to the racks using some 10" steel mending plates that I picked up at Home Depot. and then I bolted them to the rack, and then I mounted it to the rig. Here are the pics.
