    So, here is the look when I got resrended last summer:IMG_20140705_144454_922.jpg IMG_20140705_144520_648.jpgIMG_20140705_125049_182.jpg
    Tiregate pretty much destroyed, bed trashed. I figured it was a good excuse to get the wire burner out, and do something unique.

    I am working on pair of side rails for the top of the overhead rack. I stripped all of the hardware off of the factory tailgate and going to build a tube tailgate and some bedsides and some tire carriers on the sides. Mounting the handyman across the back of the cab tomorrow. Need some allpro expos for the back. Have some 3" lift coilovers for the front. Always more work to be done than time......Thanks for the feedback!
