Basik Built taco

What's wrong?

 

Tapatalk issue?

 

yea photobucket is fine?, I can see the picture

 

Must be a tapatalk deal then.

 

ill put another picture later, almost done with Another tube lol

 

Lol works in web view.

 

Another tube done

 

Yea, using those four bed bolts and probably 4 tubing connectors that weld to the frame

 

with my hi lift in there before I welded the tubes together...still need to make a plate that ties the two together. then I need to start cutting the bed up to fit shocks n stuff.

 

I am loving this bed cage setup. You're making it really functional but kinda concealed and super clean. I dig it.

 

yea im trying to keep from having to bring a tent on wheelin trips when im by myself, lol. never built a bedcage before either lol

 

soo for 2015 my mods were...

wrecked my truck in a headon....

built another bumper

added a PA and CB radio

put TC cam tab gussets on

put TC coil bucket gussets on

made my own long travel kit 3.5 over

glass fenders

longer shackles

air bumps in the back

building a bedcage for long travel rear

built an engine crossbrace and secondary front hoops

few other odds and ends like adding a hold open pin for my tailgate and other little doodads

oh yea and put my battery in the bed, and poly radiator mounts

 

Good job man. I saw your truck was fucked some time ago and it's good to see you are back better than ever.

 

Love the title change, did you order the decal from @Acerwin ?

 

No decal, just a firm believer in the Motto separates some of us from the jeep guys, if you have the ability to make sumthin do it! Unless it's wayy cheaper to just buy it. Lots of "builds" on here that are just nuts n bolts and tons of money like a jeep lol

 

I understand man! This is where I'm having issues right now. I bought that relocate and I may buy the frame plates only to save time during install. Like you, its my DD so I cannot be down for more than a weekend.
The owner of Avid is just like lets make all of it and save some cash! Decisions decisions...

I'm going to have the truck on the lift this weekend. I think I'll be trying to see if we can cut and fit some cardboard into the frame to make plates without removing the bed (at least until install date)

 

I know the struggle man! I do the same stuff, what can I do to have my vehicle downtime a minimum. I get lucky cause my buddy lets me drive his beater around so I can do the heavy stuff. also why I got most my bedcage done cept the shock hoop part...to save time when I tear the rear end off this thing lol

 

I'm not a fabricator like you either, I'm a Systems Administrator. Even though I'm around mechanical and electrical engineers all day, I just keep them working.
What are you doing for your frame? Are you going to plate it in?

 

yea im gunna box the whole rear section in, make DOM crossmembers. and the fabricator thing yea its just a hobby dude. and all it takes is practice
