[cj5walt]

well gettin ready to head to URE this weekend with wife, her sister and brother in law, so need a little extra room in the ol'5 with 4 people and gear. so decided to build a rear rack for cooler fuel can etc. using only parts had laying around.

i still have to do gussets and lower braces. that will level the rack out also, but i had to set a couple things on it to see how it looks
