I actually got a good bit of stuff done yesterday. I got this rack online for $88. They didn't send me instructions. I asked for some to be emailed, they told me none were available and refunded me $30. So here's my $58 rack going together:
While I was putting the rack together, the mailman gave me this:
I actually had trouble putting the H4 harness in. It's almost too simple. In my mind I just couldn't figure out how it works, but it does!
Here's the rack test fit. Took me about 3 hours to assemble. There were about 300 pieces. Seems ridgid for as light as it is:

Got the rack painted and installed. So happy to get my spare up top so I can have the cargo area room. I guess I probably need a 31" spare now huh?

I found it on ebay. I believe there are a few more left on there. Can't beat the price.
Thank you
Paying big money for stuff has never been "cool" to me.
I have bumper plans around tax time. Right now I just can't wing it.
I am wanting a winch/brushguard combo in the front, and a Jerry can carrier rear.
I plan to do 2 or 4 spotlight style lights on the rack, and 2 fog style lights on the bumper. I need a second battery first. Probably be a few months. I don't like paying retail for ANYTHING. I only buy stuff when I find amazing deals.
