Anyone know who's making packpack racks besides Garvin, Brownchurch, and ARB?

Looking for something like this...

Mr. Kyle van Tassel AKA kvt aka Rover Solutions *made* them... but just go search on discoweb for backpack or rover solutions and you'll realize why you'll never get a 'new' one.

Occasionally used ones pop up in the classifieds section of dweb.. there was one a few months ago, not sure if it sold..

Yeah, I know about RS..lol...wouldnt want to deal with him. I'm thinking about keeping as much weight off the top of the truck as possible so I figure one of these could help.

I mainly want it so I can put jerry cans on and for mounting some recovery gear.

Plan C would be to have Denny make me one of this awesome rear bumpers and a Swing-away tire carrier with a Hi-Lift mount and Double Jerry can holder.

Kevin, just took a look at your truck's thread...if you're interested in parting ways with the Rack but would like to hold on to the truck for just a little longer, let me know and I'll help you out with that.

I picked up one of these used, it is a British Pacific Half Rack. It's really sturdy and fits nicely. I found it on Craigslist, drove up to Philly and picked it up. I haven't seen them for sale new for a while, but you may be able to find one used. It's a very nice inexpensive rack option. I would like a SD, but couldn't find or afford one. Here are a couple pics of it on my D1 and some pics of others. (Not too keen on the way it looks mounted mid or forward on the red D1, and I am still figuring out what lights I may want to put up there.)
