230This Covid-19 "Stay at home" thing, (What ever that means for a fulltiming "Off-grid" family) has made my creative juices flow.
About two months ago I found this old style headache rack for $50.00 at the local steel recycling yard...... well I bought it and just got to work.
All this you see was done with a 5500 champion generator, 140-amp Lincoln /115-volt welder with 0.35 flux core wire, and several grinders (7.5" & 4.5", ect.)
I still need to weld some to the tread plate, and the "D" rings for tie-downs. Also need to run wiring for lights, and paint, paint, paint, a lot!
By the way, did I mention we are "Off-Grid" 16 miles up a dirt road with no one for miles. This project is for sure a "Mobile Homestead" original!
Happy Trails!!!

the "D" rings are rated at 20,000 a piece, so I think we are good.......Also I do have side bed rails, thay are 3" high! Ha!! Ha!!
