2nd gen pickup fender exo/bumper/flatbed build

[Scotty]

Also doing a flatbed on it tomorrow, but this is the start of what was done. I started with a bent All-Pro front bumper and added everything else to it.

It took some tweaking, but i think we got it pretty straight. This rig is going to the Chili Challenge next week I believe.

Well, we knocked out the flat bed today. Jason will be adding the boat sides at a later date for Roy. Here you go:

Looks good! I especially like the front fenders.

I'm curious to know why you welded a plate in between the pipes and the bed?

And I wanna see some pics of that coupe in the background. . .

[ToyotaNick]

The bed is only 1/8". The plates help disperse the load in the case of a impact.

Yes, I build turn key crawlers like this.

Smart. Good to know, thanks!

have you thought about retaining some of the functionality of the flat bed by using in bolt in diagonals rather than the welded diagonals where the "gate" would normally be?
