Colorado B.S. Thread

If your available you should come over tomorrow.

 

I might be able to Sunday. I have to go to my parents tomorrow

 

That works. Shoot me a text. I usually start cutting steel around 9 ish. Neighbors love it

 

At least you wait til 9. My neighbor used to use his loud as F leaf blower at 630am

 

Oh I used to do it at 7 until I saw my wife standing at the garage door saying oh f no. You woke me.

 

That would be my wife too. I’m early to rise and get going, she would kill me.

 

@YamaDirtrider guess what got bent up today......

 

Your gusset might lack the girth some need for complete satisfaction.

 

Something something motion ocean

 

So the just need to be welded and painted?

Gotta agree with Brian a little, wound these be strong enough to combat the bed side spread?

Any chance they’ve ready to test fit Tuesday? Would like to try and run then fit my week trip to nm coming up in the 1st

 

What’s the thickness on that 90* bracket? 1/4”?

 

I’m probably going to expand the gussets with some strapping.

And I’m gonna tomorrow to Friday :/

 

3/16

 

Well we have zero extra support now and the bed sides take a while to spread, so a little probably goes a long way unless you're pre-running the Baja or doing Holy Cross every weekend.

 

Ok. Hopefully it holds. All depends what your supporting. Should work if you keep it light. I don’t much about 2nd gens beds. But the metal will bend on the upper section. Good luck though.

 

Ok. Maybe New Year’s Eve. But idk what time I’ll be home

It looks like my could be spreading but not by much. Yet. However I do like driving fast and well yea....

 

Going to walk hun?

 

Yeah, that's what I mean, a truck gets flogged for 10+ years and a couple of hundred thousand miles and the sides starts to spread a little. Our response is to go straight to 11 with heavily gusseted 1/4" brackets that could double as side supports on a 5 ton M1083 and weigh 20 lbs. What Chris is fabbing will probably be just fine.

 

Got my studded boots ready
