Cut down the body posts on a stock TF2?

[Ghost Koi]

Hey guys, sorry to flood the forum with questions but I just got my TF2 today and am really excited!

As I am started a few quick mods, I was wondering how I could cut the body posts down to fit the truck bed?

Thanks everyone! Looking forward to posting picks once it gets out of its "stock" look!

I think most remove the body post in the bed. When I bobbed the bed on my tf2, I removed the section of bed with the holes in it.

Seems reasonable, especially with the 4 screws already holding the bed in place. Thanks!

Anyone else have any experiences...?

I used a pair of nail trimmers for my dog . Made a nice clean cut and shorten the posts neatly

Get rid of them altogether, there not needed.

Question, does the kit body come with hole pre drilled in the box?

Looks cleaner, but how do you secure the rear of the bed?

Great idea!

And then how do you support/attach the rear of the bed? The styrene/ABS plastic around the four little screw holes in the bottom edge of the cab is not very strong imo.

I agree with Natedog you roll that sucker and your putting alot of torsion on those four lower cab bolts

I will let you know if it ever becomes an issue on mine
