These are extremely simple metal fab, not rocket science.
I made my own and they’re a better fit for what I needed than anything Torklift makes, and easily as strong.
I’m not knocking Torklift, they make great stuff.
I’m knocking the people who think no one can or should do anything themself.
Sure. If someone can build a dog house, then they must be able to build a full size house. Makes sense.
So yeah, just go grab any old Harbor Fright welder and start blazing away. Beside, there's always a grinder and paint to make it 'look' good. :S
That’s not the comment I’d expect from a guy who calls himself Bert the Welder!
I didn’t say “if someone can build a dog house they can build a house”, it’s easy to try to make someone sound crazy by quoting things they never said.
Camper brackets - as you should know judging by your user name - are extremely simple. Seriously anyone with a Harbor Freight welder and a chopsaw could build them.
And sure, you could do a horrible job and scree them up.
You can also be a horrible driver and wreck the truck.
