Pack Rat Custom Boat Rack Review
TDC Manufacturing (Kamloops)

Well it took a while but I finally admitted that it was time to sell the old fishing truck of 20 years in lieu of an newer extended cab that will fit the whole family. Not such a bad thing … I guess … but what I had forgotten was all the little things that needed to be done after the purchase to get the new truck set up for the fishing lifestyle that we lead. And seeing how it was right in the middle of fishing season things needed to happen fast – especially the boat rack!

The good news was that in today’s day and age, with all of the internet shops and the mega retailers bidding for my hard earned money, finding a strong but light weight boat rack that fits the lines of my new wheels would be a piece of cake … or so I thought.

Turns out that most of the stuff out there, like anything else I guess, is made for the weekend warrior that’s maybe gunna use it once or twice a year. Hell we were out over 20 days in May alone – sorry but that weekend warrior stuff just won’t cut it!

And then there’s the well built stuff that will stand up to the test of time but unfortunately is mostly generic fit application and very pricey. 😯

So just when I was coming to my wits end and about to splurge on a one of the higher end generic fit racks I discovered another option … enter the Pack Rat!
