Thanks Cody. Moon rocks memorial day.

Shock mounts look really nice.  If you don't cap em, just drill a 1/4" drain hole at the base of the upright tube, should be fine.

Thanks, I tried to keep the center clear for storage. But I am going to cap them just havent done it yet. Hahaha

[redrocket93]

Looks great! I've been wanting to get rid of the /\ setup on mine for a while so the shocks can actually work like there designed to. Looking forward to hearing how much difference they make on your truck. Nice work.

[Slolyfe]

Got some new goodies today. But been working a ton, so no progress.

Quick release fire extinguisher mounts.


The perfect size cooler, not to big, not to small. Going to build a mount for it as low as I can.

[toyotathomas]

Looking good, I got the same cooler

[Slolyfe]

Got the rest of the tube in today. Shock mounts done.



Spare tire mount.




I added some box steel to reinforce the bed sides and welded them.

[pumkin toy]

lookin good dude!  i like the spare tire carrier, looks KOH inspired!

[Steve_925]

bueno!

[Steve_925]

im gonna have fun ripping that tire mount off with my bumper

[HogCanyonHopper]

Nice job man. Funny, the pic with the spare tire mounted makes it look like its 3x bigger than the others  Getting some inspiration from your build 

[superyota]

Dang! It's looking sick! Can't wait to see it in person

[Slolyfe]

Thanks guys. Taking it out for its first drive today now that everything is mounted.

[Monster Yota]

Looks good,,, i'll need to check it out at the round up this year... 

[Slolyfe]

Drove it a few miles today. Hauls ass! Wired in the tail lights.

Cooler mount in and added some floor.


Mounted the high lift.




Added some trusses.

[redrocket93]

Right on man! I don't think I've ever heard anyone say there 22r hauls ass. Engine must be running tits. I like that floor material. Looks much better than the standard expanded steel I'm used to seeing.

When you run a motor that held 10 pounds in two cylinders. anything is an upgrade... I used to not be able to drive in high range without slipping the clutch otherwise it would kill the motor. It goes into Yotaman monday to get a final tuning. Oh, and its a 22RE now. Hahaha

That expanded steel is the only thing left from my old bed! Thank god. Had a few beers and took the torch to that thing.

[Peterbuilt84]

Always better to do work after a few   

Liking the progress on this thing, can't wait to see it finished up

[toyotanner]

i know you wouldnt be rallying that new engine on break in miles now would you?

[Slolyfe]

Drive it like you stole it! Naw I took it easy on her. But the low end torque is awesome!

I cant wait to see it done either! Dreading the bondo and such. But I'll probably roll it at moonrocks and f# it all up anyway. Hahaha

Isn't that what it's made for? 

[Slolyfe]

Yea. I just don't want the bed to fall apart. Hahaha

[Slolyfe]

Some pictures out of the garage and the hids.

[Zs Confederate Toy]

  Lookin damn good! I like how bright the HID's look

[Peterbuilt84]

Lookin' good man Is the bed going to be yellow too?

[Slolyfe]

Lookin damn good! I like how bright the HID's look

The picture doesn't do them justice. those suckers are bright.

Lookin' good man Is the bed going to be yellow too?

Yea, I need to finish grinding the bed and touch up a few spots then start bondo and paint. But also need to start on my front end and replace my trailer bearings, so just need to prioritize before moon rocks.

[Peterbuilt84]

Gotcha. Was just curious if the paint scheme was staying the same.

[Slolyfe]

Yea, it's one of the only yellow ones out there and I hate painting. Hahaha
