About a third of the way down on page 2, I posted a buncha pictures of how I did mine. Pretty simple, cut (straight), grind paint down, weld back together. I had to do minimal metal massaging to get it to line up perfectly. Didn't use backing metal either. I highly recommend using a cut off wheel (if you are pretty accurate with them) to cut the bed up. I'm sure if I used a sawzall on it, I would be throwing tools for hours trying to get it to line up as good as I did. Good luck!

ive bobbed 3 or 4 beds and always use a cut off wheel on the outside for a super clean cut without waves and a sawzall on the bottom cuz its fast and easy over the ribs or the floor

[boggerunner]

i  prefer a gringer with a cut off disc, and a sawzall for the hard to reach places.  just need a good welder that u can turn down enough so u dont melt holes

[bmxanddie]

wow, definantly bob it. back when i had truck instead of a 4runner i bobbed mine, and it came out awesome.  i say do it.

[kiyul4130]

so i emailed bud built a little over a week ago and i finally got a reply. my question was concerning a skid/crossmember for my duals. i have a 2" BL and was planning on getting the new clocked adapter plate from here which would give me a total of 3 and 3/16" of more clearance under my truck when i lift up the drive train. heres what he had to say and has anyone seen or is using this setup?

""Yes, we have one that is designed for that situation! If you want a skidplate or not, we hae the right one.We make one taht is just a tube from framerail to framerail.  You can then add a flat belly skid to cover the whole thing. If you want a more noraml skid, we can do like our dual case skid, but with a clocked mount.  The tube version is $300, the skidplate version is $350.""   

[kiyul4130]

i also have a question about the tube setup? how would you run that. do you notch the tube and then run the tube on either end into the plate?? i think the skid would work better for protection. opinions please.

[Duffil]

looks like it just bolts up to the tcase and the frame.  I think it is a waste of clearance over the skid design,(tube is thicker than 3/8 plate) unless you put the tube above the tcase?

[kiyul4130]

i believe this is how its installed. you cut the tube and run it into the tcase mount. so the tube wouldnt be below the case. heres a weird drawing i did of an above view.

[Duffil]

that would make more sense than the picture you have up there.

[Ramrod]

you could just make one like mine?

[kiyul4130]

you could just make one like mine?

ya i forgot about yours. do you think you post up a good pic whenever you get the chance of yours. i remember you briefly telling me how you know someone that makes the tcase plate for a $125 or something. id rather go that route if its possible. thanks

my work makes that plate for $125 with the ends.  maybe a little less for just the plate.
