Nice rack Carm.  The tape is what makes it.

| That is a really nice rack. You are right you are going to have to cover it. Um .. not the rack but those cushions will deteriorate a lot faster than shows in the sun. Some starts in only a couple of weeks.

Whoa!!! Sweet mother of God, what a rack!!!  I like the little walk way around the bed. Very convenient support brace. Looks like you're the new launch taxi.

First time I ever saw a rack padded with pool toys...

Carm,
I didn't realize your rack was actually padded... 
Regardless, my glider can slip in and out of those pads with no problem...looking forward to grabbing a handful and having a go of it!

Hey Carm,
Nice, beefy rack you got there.
J Williams is right... you'll need to cover the foam up or it will be gone quickly from the sun and glider ware.
Head on over to the following link and scroll down to the last photo.
http://www.andysparkinglot.com/tacomarack.htm
Shows a way of doubling up the foam if you so desire. But the main thing is the tape. You want 2 inch wide, 10 mil thick, "PlumBest Pipe Wrap Tape".
The stuff is bomber and has lasted over 3 seasons of brutal use and UV abuse with hard rigids grinding on it on my rig. Here's a link of the stuff you want.
http://www.plumbest.com/imported-pipe-wrap-tape-30008.html
And... you can always put your narrow wraps of flame tape over all of it when you are done.
- Andy

You guys are GREAT!!
I am planning on covering the rack with black marine vinyl. As far as the glider as soon as I get a quote I will post a pix. It will be special.
Right now I am topless so you better enjoy it now.

Guys, Having seen Carms rack in person, I have to tell you, It is one of, if not the nicest racks you will ever climb onto. and that padding is sooooo soft. her rack is usually covered, you guys just got a peek cause she was changing. She says the new rule is no more than four at a time on her rack!............

| Wow, nice rack Carm! I'm sure I'd be plenty comfortable taking a long bouncy ride on it. I look forward getting some use out of it one of these days.

One problem: the pilots with the biggest and best racks always end up taking their trucks up the hill, and it looks like you can haul about 10 with that thing! Good God, SIX padded points of support?!?!
