    Good to see you on TW, Mark! Your Taco definitely got me thinking about going LT when I first saw it on TTORA a few years ago.

    Im glad to see you make it over here Mark. I cant wait to see the finished result.

    I agree with you 100% on the help that DMZ Fab gives to its customer's. I bought the DMZ 62" SUA kit and he gave my shop here in Texas all the advice they needed to get everything done. Most guys wont go that extra mile to help someone out if the work isnt done in their shop. Tim also helped us with some of the small details that make the finishing touches come out clean.

    If your anywhere near the West Coast then you would be crazy not to have DMZ build your truck.

    thanks randy!!!

    thanksman, i called you a few times for some runs in the past

    Nice meeting you man, i love how your dog wheels with you!!!

    Nice meeting you man, post your upcoming runs over at ttora.com too...hopefully we'll get to wheel together.

    Bedcage, stills maintains most of the bedspace... cant wait to see what DMZ does for the shock mounts
    CIMG1138_80be8493ebed5ea3913b89a47daf5e4d41a6ab94.jpg

    Simple Rear bumper, will connect with the bedcage once i ditched the bed and cage the cab in the future. i can stick two DB's in there.

    Mini Rear Frame horns
    CIMG1140_2799518ee15397787704fcebf5bc20d27101a09a.jpg

    Its the little things that count!!! I love DMZ's attention to details, i usually dont notice them until later down the road. You cant even stick a toothpick through there, must've taken some time.
    CIMG1143_1db2bbb396356ee65b817cd004f798886f9aa449.jpg

    Tim and I planned the bedcage proactively for the future of the truck. The bedcage and rear bumper will allow the fab to flow in the future when tubes will be added down the road. Right now there will be 1 laydown spare, but can be 2 vert in the future. Tubes will be easy to add to the rear bumper.

    thanks man, yeah its simple and it retains the bed......when its time to rip the bed out it will be easy to add tubes to the bedcage and will make everything flow and not look like it was an afterthough
