That isn't an 80 series ute that is a mini truck.
Understand. Just another idea on the bed

I'm going to look at a flatbed tomorrow! I'm hoping to have this baby driving around in the next week or two, though she'll still need to spend a day or two at a mechanic for the oil leak.
Lest we forget where we come from:
Gettin' legal for the drive over to the fab shop (the junkyard I'm buying the flatbed from will deliver to a local shop for free... neither the junkyard nor the
was too enthusiastic about dropping the flatbed in the front yard)
Some tire coverage and we'll be ready to roll!

Correct!!! Not an 80! Its a Toyota hilux.
Petrol and diesel hiluxs had the air intake on different sides, if i remember correctly!!!

Nice. Where I live I just slap some cardboard hand drawn farm use tags on her and tool her around the block. I chose to go with zip ties to hold my lights on... Seemed classier.
Awesome work. I'm pumped to see the flatbed on there. I've got my flatbed built but I have been dragging my feet on the body paint.
It'll be interesting to see your 0-60 time and if all the weight loss made her any quicker.

My new flatbed:
The landscaping sides will go eventually... but I couldn't pass this up. Dimensions are on and the price is right.
Eagerly awaiting the tow truck:
She'll be at Hazzard Fab Worx here in Spokane for help with the flatbed fitment.

I'd make the sides removable. I think thy would add some functionality!! Plus they look legit.

Yep, that's the plan... I'm thinking headache rack of sorts with drop down sides and tailgates that are removable. The landscaping sides will be a little high once it's mounted, I think!
I am going to take a load to the dump with it once it's done and I bet they'll be useful, though. I'm excited to get to work on this!
Nice work!

Thoughts and options... room for a sub tank under the bed, or the spare.
I left the sliders long thinking there may be room for this:
This c-channel looks ready for rotopax, sand ladders, or a drawer.
Tail lights will happen soon.

Less complicated to carry cans if you have the room don't know about putting them on the sliders though,
Spare could fit under the bed nicely! I'm running 285 70 17s and there's room under the bed for it on my truck. You got the room for a 35?

Way cool!!!!!'
It would be awesome to put FJ40 tail lights in. That would be the bees knees.
