Al,

Those look like a sweet deal. How do they hold up to 33 and 40 foot ladders?

 I have the 16 ft on there now.  I put my 24 on it along side off the 16 and I can probably get another next to it.  My son weighs in at 202 and he hung from the rear cross bar after we installed it.  It didn't even flex.

Just bought a uset T-rack ladder rack from a guy that had a cable install co. the he liquidated.  He has 3 more left.  $100.00 apiece.  Good condition. 

If you need one PM me and I'll get you hooked up with him.

Here's a site where you can see them.  http://www.autoanything.com/truck-racks/tracrac-t-rac-truck-bed-rack

Here are some photos of mine after I installed it.

Al,

I'm sorry I didn't reply to you but I  nodded off on the couch last night(yes, I'm getting old). A buddy of mine has one for his general contracting company and he loves them for hauling material/equipment that can't fit or he doesn't want in the bed. Unfortunately, I have a ladder rack already. We use our 33' and 40' ladders 75% of the time on the homes we service. Not only are most new homes here 3 stories but the terrain/slopes around them are a horror story.

I have the velcro from my old rack plus 4 bungeys.   They're solid.  I can pull as hard as I can and they don't move.  I know what you mean by the thing to stop them.  I had one on the other rack but it won't fit.  I'm going to make a couple to fit this rack as soon as I get some time.

Ouch.  I've seen them in the middle of the road a few times.  Bet you're glad no one was behind you.  I think I may make a couple of those ratchet type nylon straps to fit and used them.  You've got me thinking now.

We now use boat buckles to secure all of our ladders. They work like a charm.

Al, thanks for getting me his number. I called him on Sunday to set up a time this weekend to pick up a set for Ray (Spray Wash) and myself. I have been trying to call again since Wed. to get his address but with no luck. With his Jacksonville Craigslist add being gone and no return phone calls, I'm gonna say it's safe to say they are sold.

Any how, good luck on Saturday with your appointment. I'll have to catch up with you next time I'm over that way (Dec. 23 for a Patriots/ Jaguars game).
