    Still going to put them on. Will probably start on them after i finish drilling all of these holes with a dull drill bit.

    Wanted to get the deck down first so it was easy to trace out. Now I can add the rails and make the bed where it needs to be clearanced.

    The deck is fully bolted down. The hardware is temporary though.

    All bolts nicely countersunk into the deck. d25c5a773937d4b512affb32ab5af136_0b6dd4f37a2c0540c5038ce883727868a4e5a97c.jpg

    Plans changed on the side rails. The filler neck kept getting in the way. The new rails match the rail on the bumper, so it works for me.

    It'll look fine when the deck is on there. Especially when the CO2 tank and fire extinguisher are in place. That gap between round and square will disappear.

    No time to change anything at this point anyway.

    Looking nice! What material did you use for the deck? Any guess at the weight of that bad boy?

    I'll just use the side rails for tie downs.

    For the most part I carry camping gear, so heavy straps aren't completely necessary. No reason I can't add extra tiedown points further down the road though. I'm sure there will be changed as I use the bed in the future.

    That's another reason I'm not powder costing it.

    Definitely a good reason not to powdercoat. It sucks when you want to add or delete something, and have to wreck an expensive coating to do it.

    That CarboGuard stuff looks interesting, never used it but I've probably used 100 plus gallons of PPG Ameron (2 Part Epoxy) with excellent results (302 Zinc Primer, 235 High-Build Primer & 335 Glossy Top Coat).

    That stuff is just about bullet-proof.

    Works well as a spermicide, too..

    its a creative way to tell himself he needs to SAS and he can roll on 40s and fill that gap and still flex
