Skootter14's S/C’d Locked Long Bed Sport

also @916TacoTruck I made those little bracket things for the tube doors, too easy. Ill get a pic on here tomorrow to show ya

 

I believe the two points are standard. I'm sure he would do additional points if you asked.

 

Yea, I'd like to see em. I just put my doors on this past weekend for a wheeling trip. I love em. I'll prolly copy what u have for the door switch.

 

no worries, Ill take pics and take the bend measurements so itll give you a 99% solution that you can fine tune to ur doors specific. The rears I dont have so thats on you haha

Likin it though with all doors off! The other people can hate haha

 

Thanks. Not everyone's cup of tea, but when u wheel and this happens....

 

^^ thats a lot of headache saved right there haha

 

Yes, 4 tube doors are cheaper than repairing one reg door.

 

Just gonna leave this here

Nothing fancy, but they get the job done. I used JB quick weld to fix the mechanism to the latch.







Hope that helps

 

That seems simple enough. Thanks.

 

No problem, glad to help!

 

Currently on order:

-Brute Force HC bumper
-RedGoatFab Cab Mount relocation brackets
-4xCrawler 1" body lift

Big things in store to end these tire rubbing shenanigans. . .

 

Is he building the bumper to accomodate the body lift? Any plans to change the front bumper or slider heights?

 

Since my front bumper is tube and there is a lot of "open" space already, I dont foresee the 1" upfront a noticeable problem.
I am puttin the BL in before the bumper, so I can adjust my cut along the bed side DOWN 1" to accommodate the BL. There will still be the gap between bumper and tailgate BUT with the tire carrier, this will be covered anyway so again, not concerned with that (luckily).

And negatron on the slider height, Im hopin the 1" for that wont be detrimental...since its an inch.

 

I bet Billy could just make the best mper mounts an inch lower for you so you can still cut even with the tail light.

 

very possible! good idea.

the one thing that would hold me back is if I EVER took the 1" BL off, then id be fucked...so im not sure if thatd be a good longterm idea if I change things up. By cutting 1" lower on the beside, I can alwasy take that 1" off and still work with the bumper. . ???

 

so, I talked to billy today (called about the expected time for the bumper since when we talked last, it was for over 1.5 hrs and I think we both forgot to talk about how long it would take). I mentioned I was doing the cab mount relocation and the BL he was like dude, if you do the lift i need to adjust the bolt holes so the bumper looks right. I then explained to him what I was thinking about cutting 1" lower than the recommended cut to adjust for this and he was like fuck that, ill do 2 bolt patterns, 1 normal and 1 with the holes one inch below the original, as best I can and without weakening the brackets. I was like man its not necessary, it would be cool and I appreciate the gesture but I dont wonna change things up on ya, ive already modded the bumper enough as is. he said "NAY, its happenin if you tell me you dont mind" so hes gonna set it up for both unless he hits a snag somewhere. hes gonna update me by friday to tell me if it was possible or not haha.

having said all that to say...Billy's the fuckin man.

and that 10 min convo turned into nearly an hour haha

 

Kick ass. I may be getting one from him as well.

 

you wont be disappointed man.

 

Got the RedGoatFab cab mount relocation in today, 1 day ahead of schedule. Gary has answered all questions with no issues and easy to work with.

Solid, beefy product.
