5ft Box on 6ft frame?

Yep! Here’s after I got it done

 

Oh nice. That turned out pretty well. Nice and short.

 

Yeah, and thats where it is now. Just brainstorming a way to still have it accessible once a bedrack is installed, while trying to keep the CG low(ish). And a flip-down tire carrier on that space seems like a unique idea.
Might be able to do it anyways with the bed as it is. Make the 12-14" of the bed separate and still have the flip down tire. Ah brainstorms.

 

Before you begin. What is the width of your spare tire? Would the spare fit in the 12"+/- gap? Don't forget the extra space needed for hardware and such.

 

It would be doable and has precedence in other types of vehicles. IMO it would be fugly using the OEM bed. Have you thought about a custom bed?

 

What's the best way to do this?

 

Is this in Slade? I used to live in Kentucky and really miss it. Your rig looks great

 

No sir, this is at wildcat off-road park in London KY. There is some pretty country here in KY

 

@jakethesnake97 ah, I never went there. You're right, Kentucky is a gem.

 

Yea, and thats one of the places the brainstorms keep coming and going. Either way its a commitment.
