Nice lookin welds! And the build up has started. By the way the paint is sticking and I plan to throw another coat on today. Should start to get a lot thicker of a coat. I actually plan to coat the entire rear cage. Might be a little time consuming but worth it in the end. Can't wait to see the route you take with the next tubes.
 






Also I picked up some new u-bolt protector spring plates. They look a lot better than the other ones I showed you. Let me know when you talk to ORW and we'll get the tire mounts on order.
 


















Lookin good!
 






Damn, wish I still lived in Bellingham, Washington so I could check this out in person. Great welds man!!!!

Almost done with the bedcage. Going to do a bit more platework and gusseting, some more dimple dies of course :D, and throw on the bumps and straps, brakeline and fuel lines.

Looks good man!
 


















are you planning to keep and run the mono leafs?
 


















Yeah, if you're mentioning about the leaf pack down to only one leaf. Then it's like that so he can cycle the suspension before he puts the entire leaf pack back in. It's just for mock ups and making sure nothing interferes with the travel.

I'm pumped Josh, Let me know when you tap into the front suspension I'll try to make a trip out there.
 






Heck yah brotha! This ****'s taking forever! haha...got the bedcage fab pretty well wrapped up, minus a couple little dimplied gussets to fill in the little rear triangle thingies. Bumps and straps next!
