Hang Glider Racks That Go Around a Camper Shell

[chadness]

Hi folks,

in our attempt to replace the Suburban with something more reliable, we have purchased a used crew cab 4x4 Dodge Ram truck. We'd like to get a sturdy hang glider rack for it too. It has a camper shell.

I've seen Jay D and Andy P with the kind of racks that go over a camper shell. Anybody have any information on where to get these?

Thanks,
Chad

Hi Marc,

thanks for the links. I forgot to mention one other criteria that the back-most bar can be removed.

I need this to enable me to be able to take off the shell but still carry motorcycles and hang gliders at the same time.

The only one I found with this capability and the over the shell capability is:

Anybody know of any others?

Thanks,

There are 3 ladder rack- shell fabricators/retailers within a few blocks of each other between Roscoe and Parthenia on Supulvida. Go visit them, they will place the rack on the truck with a fork lift so you can see and compare them.

I got mine at a place on Sepulveda east side just north of Sepulveda or go to Daco Shell east side just North of Roscoe

For 10 years I lay my gliders directly upon the fiberglass shell covering my pickup truck bed, with a rack solely on the front. That way there was less damage to the gliders, and the fiberglass shell was none the worse.

Did you say?

motorcycles and hang gliders at the same time.
