2011 Pyrite Mica LT Build & BS

Cool build/truck.

 

Nice group.

 

Love the build. I have an access cab and a Vizsla too!

 

Haha awesome man, good looking pup!

 

when I saw this truck in the 37s thread

 

No update on the truck yet but I did just pick this thing up

 

My godd I love America , top quality fabrication, a hell of a suspension, 37's, Guns guns and guns that STI is beautiful, and a dam good looking vizsla too, love me a good hunting dog, you sir are a true inspiration and have an outstanding rig good sir.

 

Thanks, much appreciated!

 

Everything is tacked up and slowly getting there

 

Bedcage is getting tacked up, more pics to follow

Might be time to get rid of the flimsy plastic bed and weld up a tube frame to support the bed sides.

Liking the build!

 

It's gunna have metal braces supporting the bedsides but I couldn't live with myself if I had a truck without a bed lol

 

Start of the bedcage. Making it so I can eventually tie in a cab cage.

 

Progress made on the bed box. Gunna add a piece of sheet metal on the underside of the box. Box will hold dual batteries, ARB compressor, Offroad jack, and all my recovery equipment/ratchet straps and what not.

 

Awesome. What are the little studs around the top edge perimeter for?

 

Rivets to attach the box to the bed, they'll be flush when it's complete

 

So the rivets attach it to the bed, nice! will it be welded to the support "basket" underneath as well? How are you sealing it to the bed besides the rivets?

Can you tell I totally want to do this!? Thanks for sharing!!

 

The basket is the main means of support, holding the bed box in place and supporting its weight. The basket is welded to the frame rails. The bed box is riveted to the bed to keep it from shifting around, hopefully either have some weather stripping around the lid and/or some good drain holes cut in the bottom to drain any water that gets in
