    Have all the cross bars welded in, can still lift it with one arm .
    Pic is of the side plates they are 600mm long each,
    after powder caoting these will have red perspex
    behind to highlight name and number. Its going to be dark charcoal metallic grey
    Pain in the butt cold bending that 12mm round but all done now,

    welded the name plates on, now only awning brackets and LED light bar bracket to be welded.
    then big job flap dic and wire brush cleaning all the welds,
    It's suprising how much steel a roof rack can swallow. just shy of 20mtrs.
    Plus need to pick up a sheet of mesh to tie the floor together

    Right because some idiot didn't make it wide enough the awning will stay bolted to the racks.
    I've mounted front light bar now need thoughts if I should run 2 of these smaller leds out to the side
    on the front.

    Yeah thanks Winnie Thinking doing tracks at night, Those lights are 36 watts 15 degree spot,
    so will throw good beam out sideways. Bit busy tomorrow morning but will
    make brackets for both sides, and tack weld mesh on. Taking a little longer
    But head down A up its only 6 hrs work I would think. Also picked up the Red perspex
    for behind lettering. thhat goes on after powder coating.

    You could weld it to your roof and save on clamps :-)
