Thanks bro

Well she's finally back on the road in action. Lots more stuff I want to do but at least I can drive it for now.
Hood struts are number one on the list, I guess when laying it out the tire bent the brackets that hold the springs in. Then probably battery relocation, and I want to move the fuse box to where the batt used to be so the tubs will be basically clean. Back burner I want to section my tool box so that it sits under the rail, I don't like it popping up like it is now. Also have some misc touch ups in the bed, but I'm glad I took the extra time to raise the floor cause it almost looks stock with the gate closed.

It's pretty damn close to laying flat on the rails, I think if I cut these nubs off it will lay out flat.

looks like it lays out pretty hard.

It lays but there like 1/8-1/4" of daylight between the rails. I want the rails flush to the ground haha

I don't remember seeing those on mine

 

[HackMcMaster]

could just drag nubs off :cheeky:

True

I don't remember seeing those on mine

They are the attachment points for those triangulated braces under the engine cradle but on the frame side. I guess it's like a nub with a captured nut inside of it, kinda weird

 

[Tukn4s]

My truck didn't have those braces. that's why

 

[HackMcMaster]

mine has those too but it doesnt lay anyway kay:

Shot of the bed, looks basically stock. Which was the look I was going for.

Also added some spidery gussets to the front corners of the bed, probably serves no structural purpose but ties in with the theme.

 

[HackMcMaster]

:nice: looks damn near stock

Yup, biggest thing now is figuring out the liner

 

[DeanH1290]

I'd just do Line-X or some other spray in liner.

Neither line-x or rhino is available on his island and he doesn't trust what is available iirc

Oh, OK.

Love the bed. Raised floor is the way to go imo

Yeah I'm glad I did it, I was back and forth for a long time. But I knew if I just cut to clear, I would be pissed at myself every time I looked at it. So that left me only one option.
