Elsie gets a rack!!

[Phil in BC]

Here's a link to the new exo-rack being built for my BJ74. (my truck's also called Elsie) This will allow me to get rid of my trailer and put my boat up top. There are so many lakes in my area I have been wanting to go and fish, but with the boat on a trailer it has been just about impossible. Been hard on the boat too. The roads into those secret lakes are really rough.

Jason at Cruisin Off Road in Chilliwack is doing the build for me and is excellent to work with. All the idea's I've copied off of other builds is being worked into this, and Jason has loads of ideas as well. Cant wait for springtime and the ice to come off the lakes.

More pics to come as we get closer to finishing.

Here it is, boat on top and ready to go fishing. Next will be a drawer system in the back to keep things organized, and a kitchen table to hang off the side cross bar.

Nice rack!

I have considered this route also for the Kayaks.

Elsie and her new rack would look great with her top off carrying that boat overhead in the summer.

First camping trip in the rain. Tarp works great and super easy to set up.

The only work I can take credit for is putting the tarp on top, and getting the truck muddy. Jason at Cruisin Off road is the master behind the fabricating, although I helped with some of the design ideas, most of which I stole from this forum.
