We all have so much trouble w rust up there it’s great to spread the load out.
Are those made particular for the 55 roofline? Who makes ‘em?

Guess I'd better park in the back row at JMack's with my cobbled together mini rack and rooftop tent resting on Home Depot channel. To coin a phrase, "Nice rack." You've once again raised the bar.

Well, I've never received a complement on my rack before, from a guy or gal, but I'll take it! Thanks guys. 
All credit is due to Bowfin Cruisers, I just bolted it together. Building or buying things to add to the 55 has always been a hard decision for me, for the simple reason I didn't want to screw with the lines or look of the wagon. It's modern looking for sure, but pulls it off like it belongs there.
Let's test it out on the trip, two weeks of beating it up on the trails. I'm getting pumped to hit the road.

I got no rack, so i will be behind you
Thanks for the great comments Ron! I am even more privileged to know you and make this happen. It's not about money, they print that sh*t every day! Living vicariously through you while you make the trip happen does it for me. My pig NEVER refuses to run when asked. I so wish I was going. Have an awesome trip and and enjoy!
I'll send you an address and save a spot in the yard, let's make this happen!

Roof rack looks great Ron! Really like the direction trend a lot of these roof racks are going currently. Putting a lot of thought into the designs and moving away from the generalized basket appearance.

One thing I like about is the mounting system. There are infinite tie down ideas you could come up with using the cross bars for an attachment point. Patrick will correct me, but the bars are like a 80/20 type thing that allow you to move tie downs where ever.

I bet if you show interest he'll make another run of them.
He always makes batches

im going to ck yours out in Idaho, if I like, then gunna
The 55 rack is a lot lower demand than say the 80. I do have an order in for more 55 side rails to be laser cut. They are a major expense of the racks so I don't do a lot. Ever since covid happened demand has gone crazy on all styles. Not what I expected. I add racks all the time to the site but they go pretty quick so it looks like I never have them. I'll just keep trying to bump production until demand is met.
