How it started out:

Bobbed Bed:

1St Road Trip:

1st Off Road Trip:

Caged:

Stung:

2nd Off Road Trip:

2nd Road Trip:

I’ll keep dumping random photos of the truck here as time progresses. I hope you enjoyed it!

Thanks! I've only had it out once since putting it on and it worked well. However, I still managed to cave both doors in in spite of the cage

It was there, but that bracket was goobered up and was opened up enough to allow the key to slid out anyway. I swapped it out with a different bracket before I put the 60 under there to 'really' fix it

Part of the yearly wood haul down at the farm (that poor passenger door!):

i dont like the cage kage...


i plan to split the door and build to protect the door. we are kinda stuck around the cab with these smaller trucks but making the fenders removable and covering the tube front and rear seems a better way to go.....not sure though. the more i observe the less i want a cage.


one thing i dont understand is why people make the rails like part of the rocker tight to the cab instead of a nerf bar.. with full widths its very sensible to me....

the rock rails are way to close to do anything except protect from down hits. they need to go past the door rise imo to protect the door opening and b pillars.


tough choices
