Flatbed, rollcage phase 2 project

I like this stuff too, but make sure to use primer even though the can says you don't have to. I have put it straight on the metal and it chips off pretty easy.



I bought some from Advance Auto Parts and i love it. It was something like 8 bucks a can and i used it on some racks and a brush guard that i made for my ATV and it's been great.

Anyway you could update the links to your pics? They don't show anymore.

They're not here either.

Sorry about that. I went through and deleted a bunch of photos out of my gallery awhile back and I haven't had the time to update stuff including my lame website. I put some new photos in the first post. I have change a few things on the truck since I started this post. I have decided to not finish the exo-cage and to convert the truck to more of an expedition wheeler. I have also built a new front bumper and a set of long radius arms for the front axle as well as adding an Atlas 6:1 transfer case. I am real happy with the way it wheels. Now I want to get a set of those redesigned BFG Mud TA's.
 












Thank you.

One more question. :)

Do you still have any of the bed build around?

Does this help? Was there a specific photo you needed?

Can you elaborate on this? I'm interested to see what you do next. :D

I was thinking about building something along the lines of this:

With a roof tent.

It would have a small built in kitchen, water tank, hot water heater, tent heater, shower, etc. I want to be able to do multi-day wheeling trips in style like Canyonlands White Rim Trail or longer. I have some people that I know that do this type of wheeling with tents and go into town every couple of days to get a shower and whatnot, but I want to step it up a notch. I used to work for a local company that makes high end 4x4 RVs, but they are a little too big for the type of wheeling I like to do.
