Well, I didn’t get billed for my time, so it was free!
I get what you’re saying and if you had said something like usually “instead” of “guarantee” I probably would have left it alone.
I my case, even if I account for my time, it was still cheaper. Was it worth it to not have a name brand rack? For me, yes. Im guessing not you. I enjoy the fabrication and DIY aspect of it. I guess you could say it’s a hobby to make cool stuff out of cheap/free crap. I’m not all that impressed by all the swanky fully kitted Toyota’s that are in my area. Why? All they did was pick stuff out of a catalog and fire up a credit card. Not much skill in that.
Here’s one of my other “not worth it” projects. Counting the RTT I’ve got about $1200 bucks in parts. What would this cost me if I bought one made? $10k? I don’t have that many hours in it. Plus it’s fun to see people’s reaction when I say I made it out of bathroom stalls!
