Yep, got one from Christmas and so far I've had several issues come up.  First, if you have a body lift of any kind you'll have to raise the Halo bar up some because it will put it too far under the cab line (top of cab).  Second, be prepared to do some cutting because several of the pieces were not the right length and a couple were almost too short.  Third, there are absolutely no instructions as to where the pieces go so set aside some time to stare at them...haha.   

Other than that, mine is almost complete, just have to put the flat stock on so I can mount my floor and sides.

For me after shipping, it would have been cheaper to have someone local do it.  The design kinda removes allot of the functional space of the bed.  X2 on the re-cutting of pieces.  Built a swing down tail gate to hold my spare tire.
Since this pic, I've put a cross box in front for storage.  In hind sight, I should have mounted the side bars higher.  The tires rub under compression.

short bus did u raise the fenders on ur flatbed?they look taller than others ive seen but thats not alot lol.im getting my tax money all mapped out and i want a flatbed but maybe something else would be better right now,i cant afford the whole kit for my ride right now and it needs everything including some help running right,i figured the flatbed would give me sumthin to do while i save up for some engine work/parts.maybe order some aussie lockers f/r and gears or dual adapter and x-member,i dunno but i wanna start getting it ready for wheelin' im already missing all the winter fun runs GRRRRRR!!!!!! thanx for the info all

With no instructions, everything is put it where you want it.  Then cut it to make it fit.

Yeah, I figured I would raise them some because my plan is to eventually 4-link the rear so I wanted as much travel as I could get.
