Before diving into our tent build, we knew we needed a sturdy rack to support it. Living in the city, height restrictions were a concern, so we opted for a custom rack that would sit over the tailgate while still allowing access. With welding gear and wiring tools in hand, we set to work ensuring the rack was not only strong but also ready for lights when the time came. It was the first step in creating our ultimate outdoor setup, combining functionality with city living seamlessly.
