Fray has good prices on their crumb bumper plates, so they are looking pretty good right now

If it's 3x3 with 5/8" you are good especially with westside spacing. Even if welds aren't great, a local small welding shop will fix it for you cheap.

I was able to sell my Titan rack this week for about 70% of what it would cost new. It was probably close to what I paid for it because I bought everything on sale and have had it for about 3 years. I had almost 15 people message me about it so now is the time if you wanna sell anything.

I’m planning on ordering the folding wall mounted monster lite rack once Rogue gets it back in stock. I wasn’t sure if I should get the 21” or 41”? I’ve got my yoke from Titan that I’ll be using as a rack for the time being. I ordered the wall mounted plate storage from Fray last night. It looks like it holds more plates in the picture than what the Titan one holds.

Saw this resistance simulator on Alan Thrall's channel today, seems like a useful tool to use instead of pushing your vehicle up and down the street. Kinda pricey tho.

Truck in a Box

Looks like someone made a whole topic about it as I posted in here.

Are you doing local pickup only? If not how are you shipping it all?

IDK if this would be any good.

Each side goes to 150 lbs of resistance, so up to 300 if using the bar. Maybe that is enough weight and versatility for a home gym for an average guy. Maybe a little light for average guy doing deadlift and squat.



It's 649 with the bluetooth stuff and 529 without.

Yeah I sold my rack on FB marketplace. It was on Monday before the stay home order started. But every rack I’ve seen listed since on FB has been gone in a day or 2.

Yea for over 500.....no thank you. Could get the same thing out of a set of bands, a thick wooden dowel, eyelet lag bolts and a set of caribineers.

I think I've decided to just wait until what I really want comes back in stock. I really want the rml3 or r-3 racks due to the small foot print (34" depth). I'm working with limited space so those seem to be the best options. Would Rogue cut the rml3 shorter if I need it? The r3 comes in a shorty which makes it my top choice right now.

It’s totally worth it to wait and be completely happy with what you’ve got.

Are you going to paint or stain it? If you lived close enough I would offer to carve a name in the wood for you.

I honestly didn’t think about doing anything to the wood.
