Build FJ 45 Extended Cab Custom Vehicle Build Finally Begins

[D'Animal]

Bed is coming along.

This is my first attempt at body work - sheet metal work on a finished product. Any tips would be appreciated.

 

[D'Animal]

Dang thing is pretty square.

 

[D'Animal]

Time for the inner wheel wells and upright supports.

 

[mrqtipp]

sweetnessss Dan.

 

[D'Animal]

Inner wheels are about 80% done.

Yes, I do suck at welding Steel Diamond Tread.

I'm getting better though.

Few more pics

 

[D'Animal]

I suck at welding upside down and with the fuel tanks and shock tubing installed in the rear it would be impossible to get to some of these spots.

 

[D'Animal]

I adjusted the front bottom bed as needed.

It is not done.

 

[D'Animal]

A few lucky guys stop by and they helped me put the bed on.


Time for the final body work and tweaking the bed so it fits exactly as it should.

I think it is looking pretty darned good.

[D'Animal]

It helps when the batteries are almost dead in the wall clock on the shop and I knew that I had not set the time ahead an hours yet.


It was a very late night.

I'm really liking how the bed is turning out and how it's looking on the truck.
