Got some work done today on my flatbed. It just needs to be finished welded and painted, then I can add my wood deck...

Sorry for the blurry pics.

I need to mount my seats and finish my square ds then I can go test it out

I need 37's!!!

Got my rock lights hooked up today, there bad! Also got my seats mounted and started hooking up my guages..

I gotta raise my bed up a couple more inches for when I pick up some 37's and I need to move my shock mounts a lil more closer together on my rear hoop because they bottom out before my springs go flat...

If i were you I wouldn't raise the bed. I would cut it out instead because it will look horrific if you just raised it up. I'm not trying to rag on you or anything but I would look into that just because it will be a square box way above your frame.

Yea it would be cool to add some wheel wells or something like that but thats just a lot more work and more tube..it will be a lot easier to raise it like 2 more inches..

Rock lights

notch your flatbed for tire clearance, or chop that section out above the tires and build a new piece like this /-\ so your tire has room to fit up inside.

YOTA yota · « **Reply #71 on:** Dec 06, 2009, 05:04:00 PM »

Thats just gonna take up deck space and require more work and more tube to build it...

I like the easy way

pumkin toy · « **Reply #72 on:** Dec 06, 2009, 05:21:43 PM »

well if you dont care about how it looks, then do it the easy way

YOTA yota · « **Reply #73 on:** Dec 06, 2009, 08:30:11 PM »

It also because I already don't have a lot of deck space and I can't be wastin it just be cus I want it to look cooler..

pumkin toy · « **Reply #74 on:** Dec 06, 2009, 09:14:11 PM »

what do you plan on haulin around that you need so much deck space?

YOTA yota · « **Reply #75 on:** Dec 07, 2009, 09:45:02 AM »

It gets driven to the the trail and I plan on drivin it to the rubicon next summer...

pumkin toy · « **Reply #76 on:** Dec 07, 2009, 05:04:26 PM »

i drive my rigs to the trail. the last crawler that i just sold was all truggied out in the back and i still had room to carry all the trail tools and other stuff i needed. i suppose for the rubicon you need room to pack alot of camping gear and that crap too

89sastoyo · « **Reply #77 on:** Dec 08, 2009, 12:39:54 AM »

i would draw you something up on paint or look it up but it wouldnt be hard at all to do it the way im thinking it was exactly what pumpkintoy said. I would just get some tubing same as what you have cut a section out and build it up and around sheet metal it so its fenders, thus taking maybe 3 hours and will look clean. Then you can deck up to it and in front of it utalizing all the space. think about a regular bed you have wheel wells in a bed and sides, granted you have a shorter bed space but dont most of us? haha just something to think about. Also like pumkin toy said if you don't care how it looks then go for it I just think you may regret it in the long run.

YOTA yota · « **Reply #78 on:** Dec 08, 2009, 09:49:04 AM »

I'll just raise it and if I don't like it then I'll change it...

YOTA yota · « **Reply #79 on:** Dec 14, 2009, 12:23:23 AM »

Looks like I'm gonna build some fenderwells for it and cut the 3" bl into a .5" bl. It should look pretty good when I'm done lol....

pumkin toy · « **Reply #80 on:** Dec 14, 2009, 05:36:14 PM »

good choice!

germ85 · « **Reply #81 on:** Dec 14, 2009, 05:45:09 PM »

Your trucks looking good. I think you'll be happy changing the bed.

YOTA yota · « **Reply #82 on:** Dec 15, 2009, 08:23:23 PM »

Moved the shock mounts more towards the middle on the rear hoop, welded my flatbed together w/o fender wells cus I'm gonna keep the 33's. Dd'ing it with 38's doesn't sound like too much fun.. Also painted my doors black. I'm planning on testing it out at hollister next week, we'll see how it does.

Things I need to do before Hollister:
new center pins for my chevy springs
strengthen rear crossmember/shackle mount set up
weld d-rings on
finish wood deck for flatbed and mount toolbox

Will have more pics soon..

YOTA yota · « **Reply #83 on:** Dec 15, 2009, 10:33:01 PM »

Sliders on there way and front bumper should be here in a week or two

YOTA yota · « **Reply #84 on:** Dec 22, 2009, 10:09:09 AM »

Finished my flatbed, braced up the rear x-member/shackle mount set up, got center pins for the chevy springs, weld on some d-rings and went to Hollister yesterday...

Here's a couple pics for now..
