    Thanks! I sprayed the pipe all the way back to the last hanger. After that, the exhaust goes straight forward and you can't see it. Now the pipe looks good from the back and side.
    Tomorrow the paint will cure as I drive to work. It takes a few heat cycles up to 400 degrees to set the ceramic.

    You can see how far I sprayed in this pic. You almost have to be under the truck to see that part.

    I did a write in the original posting in dog platforms.
    I'll try to find it, I know I dusted the photos.
    Just used flat stock aluminum to create front legs, bound slats with angle aluminum.
    3/4" screws and power grab.
    Let me know, I can flip it over, get some fresh photos for you.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Word of advice, 3/4" MDF makes a really nice platform. 1x1" makes fantastic legs. Wrap it all is speaker box carpet. 100% functional and very strong. It'll hold my weight no problem.

    Awesome thread. My adds:

    Used a 20x48 closet shelf in place of the DC molded storage plastics. Works like molle and it gives more freedom for larger bungees/etc. *Have since added a few rubber "feet" behind it to stop any noises.

    Also have 2 large dogs. $40 for floor padding and some wood from the garage;

    Better yet bolt some ammo cans to the bed floor and fill them up with the concrete to harden....at least it would look cool and won't fly out

    I LOVE fishing for native and wild trout in tiny little mountain streams. I actually prefer to fish my 'glass 6'6" 3w overloaded with wf 4w line more than anything other rod I have.
