Something different......

As some of you know unique projects occasionally find me.

Here's one that chewed up five days.

Even new things need a hat, occasionally....

 

[wroughtn_harv]

But really kewel hats have the brim up and open

Bad guys aren't the only ones wearing black hats

And a hat can change the whole personality of the vehicle wearing it.

The flat black wrinkle finish powdercoating really made it.

A customer had this 2004 Unlimited that he couldn't find a luggage rack for. And since this Jeep is the get-around for his Peterbuilt and thirty nine foot fifth wheel travel trailer he wanted it to be substantial.

I accomodated him.

It was a ton of fun to design and build. And if you're up around Mt Rushmore this year you might be able to check it out yourself. Him and his wife are going up there May 1st to work the season for next to minimum wage and the opportunity to mix with some of America's finest.

If you see the Jeep please do take the opportunity to meet one of our most colorful local characters. We'll miss him this summer. Our loss is their gain.

A Peterbuilt pulling a fifth wheel pulling the Jeep? I'd love to see a picture of that rig ready to roll! I've seen a dually pulling a smaller fifth wheel pulling a small bass boat, and that looked pretty interesting to drive.

Nice job on the "hat".

I like it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Where's the ladder? As sturdy as that rack is, you might also need a jib crane to load it! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That's a nice universal luggage/cargo rack.
