In search of someone with Fab skills...
Not sure if this is the right place to post this.
I would like to build a cross bar/rack for the bed of my Frontier. I have ideas and can buy the metal, but I need help with bending and such. Looking for three tube style cross bars to sit about 4-6" above the bed rails using angle metal to mount it to the rails, and with tabs welded on for adding a removable platform for stuff like a roof top style tent, or a cargo basket. The idea is to have everything interchangeable depending on the adventure. My bed is just 58.6" long and 58.69" inside the rail from side to side.
I can weld (sort of), it's the measuring and bending to make it fit right that I'm clueless (and tool-less) about. I'd be happy to exchange some wrench time or other assistance. Need any non-automotive locksmith work? I'm certified, and have 18 years experience.
Solar in process. I have more than I need.
4 100W panels
Mppt40a controller with a remote panel
2 125ah solar batteries
two CF25 dometic coolers on the way
Looking to add a few accessories as well, and have to find or build a box for the batteries and controller. Still need some wire...
Going to mount a single panel on the roof of my truck, and have two to set up able to move for best sun.
Ideas and input are welcome.
Might trade a panel for other parts?
