    It's the one being torn into right now so I need to keep the toyota in one piece for the time being. I'm looking at getting a 01 f150 right now for a daily so then i'll have two projects going on.

    after taking off the bed and looking at the back of the frame i decided to just do a back half. it will look cleaner overall, and i won't have to cut off all the stock spring hangars. i made a template to get an idea of what the back half will be. another reason is an 8 piece notch costs around $80, and 20' of 2x3" sq. tubing costs only $100

    Bernie you are crazy!!! Lol

    But seriously for the age of the truck it is really clean. Ive seen trucks here that are only 10 years old, that are more rotten than that thing!

    Cant wait to see the bag setup on it. Should sit nice when it all done!

    Good Luck!:waytogo:
