    So I have a few follow up questions:


    1. How many mounts come in a box? I'm assuming 1 pair, so you ordered 3 pairs?
      .
    2. What made you order the bolt together as opposed to the 1-piece?

      I only have three total people to help me with my projects. Me, Myself and of course I ! The bolt together was shipped for free at the time and I had heard and I would tend to agree with that it is easier to lift up and install in 3 sections by myself.
      .
    3. How strong is it? Dare I ask, are you able to stand on it?


      I have crawled over it in the past and after your question yes I did go out and stand on it. Seams pretty solid, but I didn't do jumping jacks on it either LOL.

      .
    4. How has it been holding up?

      So far so good. I did notice the other day that on the inside of one of the corners where the packing material had rubbed during shipment had started showing some signs of surface rust. I hit it with the rattle can. Other than that so far it is doing great! I had thought about spaying it with bedliner before I Installed it, but the extra cost at the time and the excitement to finally have the rack in my hands led to an installation at my first available free time!


    I like how low it keeps to the roof as opposed to other racks that use the factory crossbars.
    .
    I also liked that look.

    psycho787 I must admit I have a slight emotional attachment to your rack Lol.. I believe it was first owned by Gulf550 and it was on his rig that I first saw it and then made the decision that was the rack I would like to install on mine. He then sold it to superacerc (Gulf550 eventually got another one) who then sold the Rack to pjmjr! Its a special rack! I like and will follow your mods to your rack also.
