Just got mine today, won't be able to install for a bit as the Thing is in storage, very good welding job, it seems well made and sturdy, thanks Eric.

Have you come up with a price yet? Didn’t see one mentioned.

fccperdiem

I'll make them as and when they are ordered. I have some of the sub-assemblies pre-made, so a 7 day turn around should be reasonable.

If this is an ongoing project/offering, I will be interested at some point. If you're making a batch and then are done with it, I'm out of the picture. I have too many things going on that are taking their place on the priority list right now. I still think it's a cool idea.

I don't dig the rack...I'll take your hardtop though!

It took a while to get settled in to a new job, school, house, ect... but I am back up, and ready to start making Thing racks. Is anyone still interested in the lift rack?

Ya know .... if you drew up some plans along with a parts list some people who can weld but want to save the time doing trial and error fabrication might be interested in purchasing said plans. Wink

Glad to hear it is working out well for you.
Keep us posted if you do decide to start making them. Mahalo!

Honestly, I dont know when I'll be able to make any more of them. My new job takes all of my time. Maybe I'll be in a better position to knock a few out around spring...?
I can say that I have tested the poop out of it! It has hauled scooters, coolers, firewood... A lot! The legs are holding up great. The hinges are still solid.

Let me know as well, depending on the price I would like one. Love the idea of the wood slats also.
