its a kargomaster "congo cage" rack base. he's mounted an aluminum atv ramp in its unfolded position, on top of it.
good setup. its what i have too.
kargomaster's rack basket leaves something to be desired, so i'm working on a custom setup, too.
here's some pics of the setup i'm working on.
i had the basket on the front and was getting so much wind resistance, i decided to switch it to the back, i don't feel it/hear it at all back there. i'm going to install the same type of carrier or a atv ramp(also aluminum) in front of the basket for flat storage of camping gear. (tables,chairs,screen tent, etc.)
i just recently installed the shovel/axe mount and feel like it has some great
advantages mounted there.
-its outa the way
-two heavy/dangerous items are outa the truck
-the bracket actually adds structural strength to the basket
-during most of the day, its shaded from
the sun(i always have to park facing south=shade on back of truck)
-an added plus is that my wife isn't pissed becuase i drilled a hole in my "bank-owned" truck.
