Im just picky about how things are done... lol hate doing things twice. And if someone would come out and help it would get done faster lol!

That bed looks really good!!!
Hurry up and get it done, so I have something to copy.

If someone didn't live out in BFE, I may be more motivated to come over! But you may have motivated me with that promise of .25 plate...

Lol ill be out there tonight building the tail gate a relocating the tail lights. Decided to run these ones for now due to not finding a tag light I like.

Been a while since i've been on here to update but I did get the bed finished here is a few pics of it.

My daily driver civic broke down a few months ago so I haven't had the time to really work on this thing since I drive it all the time now. I did get my LED light bar that I got for christmas hooked up. Still need to mount my winch and repaint the box. I used spray on bed liner and it did not hold up nearly as good as I thought it would.

Ill post a few pics of the light bar soon.

Hobart handler 135 mig with flux core wire. Not the biggest unit but it does the job I need it to

Really like the way it turned out, has a military feel to it.

thanks for all the likes. It was inspired buy some old logger boxes I've seen and by J-series pick-ups. My dad has always had them growing up. If I could afford to have just a toy I'd probably have one of those as a wheeling rig. I just wish it looked this good still. I used roll on bed liner on the inside a rattle can on the sides. Even with proper prep it did not hold up well. So I plan to strip the outside down and just use regular black paint.

Not much of an update. Been way to dang cold up here to do anything. Hasn't been above 10 degrees in weeks. Did manage to snap a pic of the truck with the light bar and and my buddy just bought a tube bender to build his new TORC series truck so might be a new bumper and some tube work added to the bed soon.

Link to the light bar. For the money I am very impressed seems to be holding up to the elements so far too.

You'll definitely need a hoop and downtubes... if it goes off road. At least it would look more hardcore in the Advance parking lot.

Finally made some progress on this thing. Got it over to my buddies shop and got the winch mount and tube bumper made. Still need to add one more tube paint it and mount my light.
