The Rover-Landers of BC

Not many posting pics of their projects so here's mine.

Rack was made last fall, but all else is from last few months.

Gas cans, gas can bars, & storage box come out & deer goes in.
Only problem is rear door can't open.

The rack is rated at 500 lbs.

Its a little wobbly with 2 - 5gal cans & box that wieghts about 100lbs.

I've had it out 3 times in the bush & haven't bent anything, yet!

I had a similar one (but bigger) on a '82 bronco. I had side bars go from the ends to the bumper that stiffened it up. I may do this to this one.

Only thing I don't like about it is you can't open the rear door.

A small price to pay for a budget build.

Gotta love Princess Auto!
