Now I wait for the tire carrier. Will go pick up my metal on Monday

If my measurements are right all my camping **** should fit !!!

Pretty stoked. Now time to go to the ER and get my right ankle x-rayed she decided to let go on me again.. ... FML...

I like the DV8 stuff, but from experience with installing it, fitment is never quite right. I would ABSOLUTELY wait until you have it in hand before you turn the wood into steel.

 

[Spsully]

oh, and looking great as always.

 

[DILLIGAF]

The carrier should be here on the 26th Ill defiantly wait to have 100% mock up before metal

Your boards looked my before project at first glance, I thought "No way did he use Robot fencing as his frame like I did!" hahaha

Looking good man, I love seeing your progress on this beast. Keep it up!

Building the inserts for the rack today.

I just had a thought ..
When you are finished with the bed set up, will you be able to access your Cab Vents ?
If access will be tight, you may want to install new cab vents, if the current ones are 2012 OEM

Spent 900$ Kentuckian shekles for 72' of 2x4x0.125 square tubing this morning. It should be here on Wednesday.

Starting to install the mounting braces for the headache rack today. And will move the fuel neck tomorrow.

Working outside is quite nice. Tired of blowing thru those 30$ 3M filters on my respirator...

Picked up some shelving spacers in the dumpster today. 2 rows of this spaced 1" appart look ********. And will be the same height as my net.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Gas neck relocated. And Air hook-up installed.

Pretty cool that it's hidden inside the storage compartment.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Pressure testing my install and had to try out the fuel nozzle.

Nice to have this side done.

Not the smartest thing I have ever done... I'm putting in way to much trust in this Chinese bed extension...LOL
