Rusty is correct.
At least in my mind... stretching the wheel base with the overhang that I have would minimize that.
However, I would LOVE to avoid doing that. Im REALLY contemplating that flat bed option. The more I think about it, the more I see it as the BEST means to get where I want the rig to be with the LEAST amount of money and effort. Plus, once that platform is built and affixed, I can do a TON of stuff to set it up for what I need.
Im thinking tool boxes for storage, NO swing outs and keeping the tire and jerry cans at the back side of the cab...My mind is running wild with the possibilites.
Plus, if I do it right...the rig will still look nice and wont be all hacked up like that orange one. He is trying to sell that right now, and its HAMMERED.
Id lose the sleep space that I LOVE to rub noses in, but...like Jack and I had talked about...everything is a compromise.

Gotta get a bender though!!!!!

Thanks for posting that pic up Rusty!
