My new chair rack

[hinkle_e]

I was sick and tired of my 3 zero gravity chairs taking up so much usable space in my truck bed and I don't like having to put outside furniture inside the camper so I came up with this.
Bought a cheap aluminum cargo rack, extended it to 24" tall, shortened the width from 22" to ~12", and u-bolted it to the bumper.
Weight of rack is 17# and total weight is 62#. Moved the spare from the bumper to underneath a while ago and it weighed more than this so I'm not worried about reinforcement although I'm gonna keep an eye on the welds just in case.
The diamond plate is a heat shield for the water heater for when I forget to remove the chairs prior to using it on gas (switch is inside).

Thanks for posting this. You just gave me an idea I've been thinking about how to solve.
