Looks good. Just curious why you kept it so far off the Xtra cab area.

Do you mean width wise at the top bends? If so, that is because I didnt know what I was doing, at all! Lol I got better as I went but if I ever build other one I'll get a die with a tighter radius.mine is a 7" and I dont like how wide the bends are.that would make it easier to kink bends tighter for a sharper look,I think.
