I've seen a handful of homemade wooden racks around here, but this one is the nicest one I've seen.

Love this book! kzread.infoUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

THANK YOU FOR NOT TALKING DURING THE WHOLE VIDEO!!!! I grasp these types of vids the best because I have rudimentary woodworking skills and just need an idea to blossom. Your design is SPOT ON! With the money I save on a rack I am gonna end up buying a second SUP. Man, thanks for such inspiration.

Started building one this evening for my ranger... I used a angle grinder to take off the 1/8 of an inch on the studs that goes to fit the holes right. Make do with whatcha got 👍 Appreciate the vid!

I was just crip walking to the music in this video whilst planning to build my ford ranger ladder rack. Thanks Cuz ♿️

Great job! I think for me I will square off the 2 plywood edges close to the cab to get it about 3/4 close to the rear window, make a slat style plywood headache / rear window protector. The 4 upright boards probably about 4 inches higher. Other than that, your video for diy wooden truck rack design is the tops in my book.

Very nice. Just what I was looking for plus added stabilization and strap down although I would consider a bolt through on the plumbing straps to allow for multiple remove and replace.

Where there’s a will, there a way. Great job!!!

Man I need one this week , I'm gong to start building it tomorrow. Thanks for this very helpful video.Great job!

Wow that is SOLID! Great video. I just thought you looked just way too cute at @3:20 jumping up and down on the racks. I had it on rewind for 10 times. WAY TOO CUTE!!! LOL

Fantastic build. I just built some racks just to heighten the side walls of the bed and was looking up the best way to mount a ladder. This is looking like the next build for sure. Definitely with a few coats of poly though to stand the weather

Very nice. This will be the model for my Ram's canoe rack...perfect! Thanks for sharing

Thanks I built this today for my Ranger . Great tip and much thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the inspiration! Definitely gave me some insight on how to make the posts sit snug in there. About to build one myself on a Ford F150 but going to angle the posts slightly to match the profile of the cab and then run either IPE or Cedar boards horizontally down the sides. I love having a lockbox on my truck and that's an issue I'll have to overcome. Might switch out to a rigid box which shouldn't be an issue since I'll be able to load lumber on the rack now. Thanks again!

Thanks man! Yeah it was made specific for my ranger and also I could have added more mods. Overall the rack was super practical ( i say was because i sold my ranger now ). I have a 3 part foldable cover on my new truck, I think this is something it could replace your lockbox. I just put a big rubbermaid storage bin under that hard foldable cover so nothing get stolen. Also i still can put a rack on my truck with this foldable cover so it's a win win for me!

Very well done! Both the rack and non-verbal video that said so much.

Hey man, you just saved a a lot of time and money. I came up with one way but it was going to be way more involved. Glad I found this!

I like how you already figured out that you need to sort of 'hang' any load that hangs across your tailgate... From the overhead. To avoid that load beating the heck out of the top of your tailgate!

Great DIY, you gave me ideas on how to make a front rack for my Tacoma dbl cab on top of the bed cover so I can carry a canoe. Thanks!

That truck rack is awesome. Great inspiration, thanks.

looks great. going to try this out for a canoe/paddle board rack!

Best video I've seen on youtube lately!...great work! 👍

Best design I could find on youtube, this is the one I'm gonna try making. Thanks for the vid

Great design. I will definitely build this one for my Tacoma

This why I save 2x4s! Thanks man

WoW!! This is incredible. Fantastic craftsmanship!!

Excellent for a jon boat and a frame for a truck bed tent as well 👍

Dude that's awesome. Very practical.

Really clever! Big project coming up 🤞🏻

Nicely well built. Looks strong as well. Tks for sharing 🫡

Glad it helped 👍 The rack is super heavy duty, maybe too much for my ranger. I busted both rear shocks on my ranger, the rack could take the load but not the truck lol. I still have the rack on the truck, really useful when i carry long lumbers or my ladder. 👍

Good job. Making one like it for my rowboat.

Basic principles of structure at work. Easily overlooked basic principles lol. Using plywood triangles to reinforce supports at their base and joints is a great idea. Thanks for the video

Thanks a lot for your video. I will very well build one on my GMC pickup with the same setup as you. .

As a fan of homemade ladder racks I must say yours is the best one I’ve seen. Great design and workmanship. Oh and that old Ford Mazda is badass.

I bought all the materials for this today. Going to start building it in the next few days

That's a serious rack! Good work.

Good job! I'd probably come up with something other than a screw to hold the hook/bracket from the truck rail to the wood, maybe a small ratchet strap down to the tiedown anchors in the bed or a wingnut or something that would make it easily removable.

Great idea and really cheap to build great idea and project Thanks for sharing vid and idea

Amazing and practical nice job 😃

Hey great idea man. Will be using this.

awesome job!

This is the raddest of racks ever.

Well done. And it works.

Simple and effective.

Superb!

Nice strappin

Nice design.

Great design!!! Well built. A little overkill with the screws. lol. I don't think sheetrock screws are the ideal choice. Sheetrock screws have a low shear strength or sideways strength. And considering that they will be subjected to weight of the load and vibrations of the vehicle; I think after a while the screws might not be effective. I would suggest Spax screws from HD as a better choice. A little more expensive but definitely more guaranteed.

Yes. Screws can easily snap with live loads.

Cool design and easy to remove 👍🏽👍🏽

Love this a lot. Any ideas on how to make this design modular...as in easy to remove and store it and set it up only when you need it?

Great, genius . I will make one soon

Ahah! 😅 you must have a lot of patience when choosing your lumber. It's surprisingly complex, much check at all common lumber defects, 3 of 4 planks are not looking good. But at the end, the result is way better. Here's a quick guide i like on how to select your lumber : www.artofmanliness.com/articles/primer-on-lumber/

I use to work at the lumber department. You have to wait when they pull a new bundle down . Once it hits the ground and we cut the straps all the carpenters and contractors run for it . Like a mound of ants lol 🐜

Credit for this . I’ll video me building one and moding it out . I’ll give you the credit for the rack . I’ll send you the link once finshed . Thanks

Go for it! I wanna see it. This rack has been so useful for me in the last year i can't belive how many delivery fee i saved. And other than that is just easier to grab some lumber at the hardware store , just put it on the rack and strap directly to it! I love it. To make it last longer, i should add some thin aluminium fascia over the horizontal 2x4 beams so when i move material, it won't remove the paint on my 2x4's and will also protect against the rain or snow. It was supposed to be a temporary rack when i was building my deck and i decided to keep it on the truck lol.
