Regular Cab SWB build

[lynskynbnd]

That last wheeling trip left some damage!

No problem

I spent about an hour carefully straightening the lower part while keeping the upper half straight, made 4 gussets, pulled both control arms loose, welded, and painted.

Still Loving the bumper! I'm still thinking at some point to fabricate a winch mount to bolt between the bumper and frame. So much open room in there. This pic was posted previously here but I'll be running more trails before the Overland Expo East and a week after leading the Off-Camber Crawlers Annual Fall Foliage Trail Ride. I should have more pics after that.

I started on the bed box this evening. Made good progress.
Two sheets of 1/2" sanded ply

Bottom and using the piece to be cut into the ends to size up space used.

End pieces cut and trimmed to fit the sides and clear the tie down points.

Hopefully I'll have the front and two top pieces done tomorrow evening.
Updates coming...

All the main boards are cut nailed and glued. The narrow top piece needs to be shaped to the bed side, nailed and glued to the main body, and piano hinged to the larger top piece. Also inside trim and support bits need to be cut and installed. Then paint and carpet.

Roomy flat sleeping surface

Like they say go big or go home...looks like you've executed a great plan and I've got a feeling youll keep adding. Great job!
