Bed Rack/Trailer Full Utilities - $4.5k - SLC, UT

[macleody]

I am selling a custom built overlanding setup. This can be used as either a standalone bed rack, or a full trailer when you mount the bed rack on it as shown in the photos. It’s perfect for a couple dirt bikes or some gear. It was designed and built by myself over the last couple of years. Most everything on this is custom made! The bed rack portion is fully aluminum, and the trailer frame and bed rack supports are steel. The price includes everything pictured and listed. Total weight of bed rack on trailer: 1,190 lbs (without roof rack). I am definitely open to cash offers, so let me know what you've got.

This thing is cool and definitely has some appeal as a flexible setup...
Couple of questions for you, mostly about the interface with the truck:

1. What length/size of truck bed is the rack meant for, and how does it install on the truck? Looks like a 6.75' Ford bed? Is it adaptable to a 6.5' Ram bed?
2. How do you swap the rack from truck bed to trailer and back? Assuming you need either a forklift or some sort of ceiling lift. Is it a pretty easy/quick swap over?
3. How much height do you have in the truck bed under the rack? Enough to also fit dirtbikes under the rack in the bed?
4. Is the RTT fairly easy to remove from the rack? And what height is the rack compared to the truck cab?
5. How does the roof rack attach? Is it just cantilevered out over the cab roof?

Thanks!

1. I'll break this up below since it has a few parts.
   1. Yes, it was very specifically designed to fit a short bed 2012 F350. I would confidently say it will fit any Super Duty from 99 - 16 as designed.
   2. It installs using a mounting bracket I built that has a rack side and a vehicle side. The rack side stays on the rack since it attaches it to the trailer, but the truck side is designed very specifically for my truck bed, and it isn't coming with the rig. You can see the rack side on the bottom of the bed rack in the photos. I will make it red to be obvious. Again, this is included. It can be removed from the bed rack as it is bolted to the legs of the bed rack. For attaching it to a different truck bed, you can either make brackets that line up with the three mounting holes on the bracket seen below or bolt through the bed rails right into the rack
      
   3. I can't confirm or deny that it will fit any other vehicle, however I have attached some CAD drawings to the post if you would like to do some measuring of your vehicle and see if you can make it fit. You could trim the flange or completely remove the red bracket above to make it fit your vehicle better.
2. I use a forklift I have access to. Definitely need a forklift or ceiling lift as you stated. It would be pretty awkward and dangerous to do it without the aid of a hoist. It uses six 1/2" bolts and I can swap it over with a forklift in about 15 minutes. The main power harness and third brake light are run off of two pigtails to make them easy to disconnect.
3. It is about 38 inches. Definitely not getting a bike in there but allows a good amount of room for gear. I do have a heavy-duty hitch hauler for two dirt bikes I can throw in for free so you can haul dirt bikes in bed rack mode with no trailer. It's not powered coated so it's ugly, heavy, and a PIA but it works as intended.
4. Yeah, it is. It attaches like most roof racks do. A piece of flat bar goes underneath the rack crossmember with two bolts on either side that are attached to the tent by a channel. See the attached drawings for dimension from bottom of bed rack to bottom of roof rack (cab clearance).
5. It uses eight 3/8" bolts that bolt through the roof rack and into the bed rack. The bed rack size uses rivet nuts that are set into the aluminum. Full disclosure, I never intended to haul heavy items on it. I threw some wire dog kennels and camping chairs up but that's about it. It is mostly for esthetics and the lights. See attachments for a screenshot of the hole layouts in CAD. The tabs for mounting the roof rack to the bed rack are red and they are the same configuration on the driver and passenger side.
   

Hopefully this answers your questions... Let me know if anything needs clarification.
