2nd Gen. Tacoma Bed Bar Feeler

real interested too ...put some pics bro

 

I have a lot of pictures in the begging/middle of the thread.

is there anything specific you want to see? i might be able to find a picture of what you're looking for

 

How much for one of these? Are you still planning on making sliders for us AZ people?

 

one bed bar like that is 50$.

and i might be able to make you sliders, although they'll just be a standard design. The double bend takes too much time to make w/o a jig and a notcher.

 

Plus only the cool people get that design.

An easy design is something with square tube because you don't need a bender and square is super strong.

 

Damn, I would love to get the design like you made for amaes How much would you charge for sliders? Can you make them in a bolt-on design?

Good price for the bed bar!

 

not sure if i can do bolt on. i'll explore that option and see if i can make it strong enough.

the sliders will probably cost about $320

 

I did the hi-lift test on my sliders today and nothing went wrong so needless to say they are strong

 

hey matt btw i emailed a fab place in phoenix with a couple pics of your bed basket....they quoted me 650 for it WTF maybe you should look into making those and selling them, good business there for ya!

 

You should see the one he is building for his dad. That thing is epic!! So nice and great looking design. I got to see it yesterday.

 

i'm down to make them for local AZ people

i just don't market them very well . I'm down to build just about anything, and it'll be cheaper than what the fabrication shops will charge.

since i'm just making stuff in my garage people basically just have to pay for the materials, effort and time that i put into making it. The real reason why i'm building bed bars or skid plates is because I want to get better at fabricating and designing things. so the best way to do that is to build whatever people want, that way i can get as much experience on my own that i can hopefully use later as credit saying that i have experience in that field of work.

so far i've made great progress since i've only had a welder since january

 

i might be in go any pics

 

Hunter423- what item do you want pictures of

awesome! now you can finally paint them!

 

You should make a photo gallery on the first post and post everything you have built and have your customers send you pictures of the items getting use

Yeah I'm going to wash the truck today and paint them

 

^^ I have been thinking about doing something like that.....it looks like it's time for me to actually do it haha

 

UPDATED FIRST POST

and i'm about to send out some mass PM's for all those who asked about bed bars and i never followed up on. so if you're serious about getting one let me know and i can start working on them

 

do you have any pictures of the bike rack that you made?

 

no, i forgot to take a picture of it.

but it was basically just a 1" square tube bed bar. the buyer already had the attachments, so i just had to make a bar that bolted into the bed rail

 

I've seen the work Matt does, it is amazing. The guy has skills! I have placed orders to have him make me skid plates and some weld-on sliders.

 

ohh, btw, harrelsen, i got your skid plate plasma cut today
