Awesome work nonetheless...great fab skills

All the pictures of the rack that I have now are in my photo album. I have jeep in my shop up on jacks right now starting a budget lift and tires. So maybe next month I'll get somemore pictures. Kinda slow build right now, on a wife and two kids budget

Any alternator concerns for the lights? I don’t know the thresh-hold.

I still haven't got around to finishing wiring the lights completelly. I also plan to upgrade the alternator, so there should not be a problem.

Now I need to get busy with building bumpers and sliders and buy tires.

This rack was bent with a hand bender for 1" EMT Conduit and a magnetic angle gauge. Real easy to do. I have a Air over Oil Tube Bender just not alot of Dies.
