|  Dove tail bed Help - HILUX
I need some help with how to go about dove tailing a hilux bed. The biggest question I have is how to deal with the tail gate. Pics would be very helpful. I have almost finished dove nosing the cab. Lots of info on that but cant find much info on dove tailed beds. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Cut tailgate out then remove the desired amount of floor out. Do your pinch then cut down the tailgate to match your new dimensions.

Ok, thanks. That gets me a little closer. Any suggestions on how to deal with the lettering on the tail gate? And for the tailgate latches, should I cut around them or through them? Next time someone that knows what they are doing doves a bed they should snap some pics. I'm sure it would help some people out. I know it would help me, I'm a visual learner  |

Take material from the middle of the tailgate. This will allow you to preserve the hinges!
