i have owned a xcab long bed, i took 12 inches off the front, 16 off the rear, it looked weirdtacular, i liked it, kinda like the minibeds on the tacomas with the doublecabs. i then took part of the frame off the rear to componsate

So it had a 7 ft. bed and not the 6 ft. :headscratch:

Wow Marlin is turning into pirate quicker and quicker how dare a nob ask a question? I rarely find and answer with a search because my question isn't close enough to the answer. People don't always know what to ask because they haven't seen something that they are asking about before.
Sounds like more tree huggin hippie bull :pokinit:
