Wow, awesome work! A couple of those rear pictures look real, minus the huge spray cans in the background! Can't wait to see it outdoors!

Looks killer! Thanks for that pirate4x4 link. Lots of good ideas in there so I can get started on the bed of my truck!

Its actually a real simple design, The hinge side is just brake line with a long 3mm bolt and a jam nut. The flat bed frame was drilled and tap on both sides and the secured side is just brake line with a 3mm bolt that threads into the frame and locks it in place. Was a lot easier then making hinges and a locking/securing system.

Thanks Ryan,
I am anxious to get it out on the rocks but I want to full finish it 1st and it still has some more to go.

Thanks for the props

It really isnt that great, I mean maybe you should just build another one and send me this one. Just kidding obviously, you never seem to stop man! I can't believe Im going to say this but this truck tops the brown yota. Do you do any custom work for people?

Appreciate the kind words. I will not do any custom work for anyone, every time I have done so it never goes as planned, takes wayyyyyyy to long and just is an overall disaster. Unimoger will be posting up a yota I did the interior on...it came out great but it took damn near a year to do so...which is totally unacceptable. I just really dont have the time, I have been having trouble finding time for own stuff..I have so many half completed builds its not even funny.

Thats cool and completely understandable, I want some tubework done but dont have the equipment to braze, and am afraid that if I do brass rod like people used to do that it might bite me in the butt in the end. Thanks though, keep up the good work! What are your plans for the bed floor? Styrene?
