It really fits good and when I get bigger tires all I will need to do is move the hole in the bed forward .

man, that things real nice! great job!

Thank you , I'm trying my best to build a good trail rig that I can still daily drive and not need a trailer and tow rig for . Doesn't hurt if it turns some heads going down the highway .

I love this bed. It's awesome. You seriously do some good work.

The only suggestion I would make (which, how it looks now it totally cool, just something I noticed) is how you have the brake lights mounted. Instead of just that little plate that is just big enough for the light, maybe plate that whole triangular section and then recess the light into it? Just a thought.

Was going to but hadn't found any lights that I liked so I got these lights and brackets for cheap

As long as those heads aren't connected to a body that has a badge lol. I try to stay as 'low profile' as possible, and still get hassled from time to time. How are Indiana's lift/mud flap/fender flare laws?

Looks awesome though man. I really like how it turned out. Can't wait to see some pics of it out on the trail.

I think its bumper within 2" of factory and no more than 2" of tire from fender. They aren't real strict on that around here though.

The only thing I've been hassled for is having the plate in the back window . And I've got a idea for a hidden hitch with the plate I'm going to try before I paint it today . But I have never heard of anybody getting pulled over for bumpers or fenders being out of spec . The guys I work with tell me they are not so lucky in IL.
