Blackhawke88's Build/Photo Thread

Looks nice & simple!

Could put some lights on the bumper or something, might have to plate a bit underside tho!

 

I will hit you up next time we go.

 

I wanted the carrier so my bed is flat and flush with the tires out. I still have the bed cut out and Im going to trim it so I can pop it in the carrier to fill in the cavity. I am also going to notch the tail gate so I can slap it back in too.

Basically, in a matter a few minutes, i can make my bed almost stock.

 

dude like i said earlier today...that carrier came out super clean and it looks great after the quick spray awesome

 

Dude you will realize you need bedside supports if you haven't already haha mine sway like a mofo so I'm fabbing some up this week

 

he gusseted it to the frame real well

ohh got some pics?
edit: nvm but when you push on the top of your bed dont the sides sway back and forth since there isnt much holding them together will the big hole..?

 

look 7 posts up

 

yeah i saw that lol so they dont move at all? i might look into trying that instead of getting little supports like marnes truck, have you seen his?

 

he tied the carrier into the frame where the X-brace was, and the bumper is tied and gusseted to the rear of the frame. There is absolutely no movement or sway.

 

nice, im lovin it man!

 

wait you are talking about my bedsides, not my tire carrier? Engage made me a couple supports that do pretty well, but I cracked one of them when I hit that huge ditch in Superstition.

 

yeah, sorry for the confusion lol i meant bedsides, like if i grab the back of mine where the tailight is they can move because theres not much bed left on each side to support it, so im making these to solve the problem. damn i made that waay more confusing than necessary hahah


another close up:

 

i just went out and shook my the ends of my bed and it does sway a little, but so does my whole truck. I'll pay attention to it next time I hit the dirt and decide whether or not I'll get some of those.

 

i see mine moving on the fwy when its windy or bumpy, in the dirt it moves alot, just looks ugly from the outside haha but more than that i can see little cracks in my bed on the edges so i wanna get them done before barstow this weekend!

 

Krish, do you have the 3 bedside supports in the wheel-well like the stock bedsides? If not that's probably the reason for all the sway and flapping about in the wind.

 

you mean the hangers for the bottom of the bedsides? if so then yes i made four of them and they are sturdy as hell, i just got this swaying problem once i cut the hole for the tire carrier

 

Oh Okay, I know there's 3 in each well on my truck, but you don't have a rear bumper either? So you don't really have any tieing the rear end together after the x-member for the spare tire

 

Looks sick Aaron. I'll check it out in Laughlin.

 

Looks fuckin nuts
