Finally picked up my spring perches so the bed chop is closer. Hopefully the garage is open next week/weekend and I can get started. Slight change of plans. Smashed up one of my taillights wheelin last weekend with Justin so thinking about doing lookalike LEDs, something cheap and easy to replace when busted. Might not section out the bed and re-use the stock taillights and stock rounded edges like planned before. Might just cut and flat cap the ends of the bed with thick metal and cut holes for lights.

^^^ that flat chop idea sounds killer, and allows you to make a stronger light housing

i want to stop bye!

Sorry dude, wasn't on all day really. Will be in there all night tomorrow starting at 4 and probably most of saturday.

No real choppin yet but awesome progress.


pics of course,















Basically the leafs are now flipped around leaving the short end of the leaf at the back which allows me to shorten the bed an extra 5". We also shortened the wheelbase 1" to take up the excess amount of yoke sticking out the t-case. Now it sits at 112". The front of the leaf was stuffed into the frame and the frame (which is scary to see just how thin of sheet metal they use) is plated with 1/8" plate on both sides. Now the fun begins to see just how short we can get it. Looks to be somewhere in the 18 = 20" range on total shortness Can't wait for tomorrow!!!!
