FWP Fab Locked Longbed Project & Rubbishery

Looks good man!

 

needs to be washed inside and out now! maybe a sunday project.

 

Washed the outside this weekend! Also picked up a shop vac for the garage/shop, and so I can use it inside the truck! Will be taking the front seats out to vacuum all the dog hair out from under them!
Debating If i want to remove and clean up the center console also....
Before....

After! Nice to see it super white again!

And one during that my GF took without me knowing... wheels are getting chipped up a little but that's expected I guess.

 

What did you do with the rest of Steven?

 

Nothing. Couldn't be salvaged... lol

 

Photo drop....
This the the house I grew up in... we dont own it anymore but sometimes I wish I did...

Then I pulled this old plow out of a tree that started to grow around it. And then had to see how well it worked still...


Then I went to Crossbar for the first time...

 

Then I went to Hot Springs for the first time...

 

Maxxis makes a 285/75r17... website shows they measure 34.2". Let see how much fender I need to trim...

 

Welp tires fit! Should probably still do some hammering and trimming though.

 

Looks good!

 

thanks man! I plan to head to harbor freight to pick up a 3-4lb hammer so i can hammer the pinch welds flat. Then i need to look into trimming the fenders... need to find the best way/tool for the job...

 

Looks great

 

I bought a pneumatic body saw from eastwood and it worked ok-ish. I will say the tool itself works fine but the blades it comes with and the additional purchased fine tooth blades from them seem to be the issue. Here is the link if you want to try yourself.

I really do think the blades were the issue rather than the actual tool, wish I had feedback on that for you but I don't. I think a jigsaw would do great as well.

As far as the plastic flares go, a dremel with cutoff wheels worked good, just be prepared for molten plastic flying at your hands and face.

 

I like a air knife or air 3” cut of wheel. Smaller and easier to control

 

I have removed the fender flares already so it will be all metal body that i will be trimming. I was looking at the body saw also, thanks for the heads up on the blades. I will have to make sure i get some good ones before i start hacking away if i decide to go that route

 

I think this maybe my best option as i already have a grinder and some flapper discs. I like the idea of a smaller cutoff disc also... Thanks!

Did you get all the stuff for your CB install?

 

No sir, did get all my suspension welded in last weekend

 

yeah i read about your setup... sounds nice! im sure i will be doing the same not too long from now.

 

I have a extra shock relocate

 

Sweet! I still need to get the shocks, leaf packs, and hammer hangers though... lol
