Amazing work! So nice to see build like this.

Did you use the "string method" to cut the bed up? The cuts are sooooo clean.

Thank you. I have a wrap bar on my other TF2, and you're right, they make a big difference

Thanks. I used a mix of a hacksaw, my razor saw, and a cut off wheel in my dremel (i did clean the cuts up before taking the pic though )

Sorry, no updates yet. I'm trying to get my Class 2 Power Wagon build finished and I also have a lot of other stuff going on at the moment. I'll be back on it as soon as I can though

I've not had much spare time to work on this the last month or so, but I'm hoping to try to get back on in over the next few weeks.

I got the main part of the cage mounted. The bed mounts to it, then the cage mounts to the chassis. So, with 4 bolts I can remove the bed with the cage attached. Next up will be to finished the rear part of the cage.






Quite a few people had asked me on Instagram if I could make them an Anti Wrap Bar. And, after making 20 or so I realised that I hadn't got one for this truck. So, after re-looking at my original design, I decided to make one that had a little more clearance. Here it is:








I hope to have the bumpers and sliders done for the next update so stay tooned!
