    Yeah I will figure something out with the doors. :D

    Thanks! practice makes perfect. I wish I knew how to weld better. These are Josh's welds :)

    This guy likes to poo on my parade :D. It's too late now mark they are all gusseted :eek:

    Can't bob the bed anymore, it has to be so long because of the frame. I can't shorten the frame anymore due to the leaf springs.

    :thumbsup:

    Thank you.

    Also, it looks like ur using 110 welder. Props for that! And trailgear makes some sweet doors for a reasonable price, but u seem like A DIY type guy. Or you could find some salvage doors and cut them down half way if you know what I mean. A lot of guys with old 4runners run those.

    Quit being a jerk Mark :p. I don't have any tools and I live in an apartment. I can get so much work done in the mud and grassy parking lot :rolleyes: I have spent over 35 hours helping. At least it's not a shop that has never rock crawled before building it this time :eek:

    I know I know. I understand the situation completely...just funny bc the whole thread talks about the shops it has been at and where all the work was done...how could someone say "you seem like the DIY type of guy"...really didnt he read the thread?

    Anywho when you getting this back? Wellsville is the end of April and dont miss this one too!

    I know I've stated many times that Josh is building it lol. I'm sure the truck will be ready by then. Exact date? The cage will be done but the other stuff probably wont... ran into problems. Ran out of money and tube :rolleyes:

    I guess by "DIY" I meant coming up with your own ideas and brainstorming, and telling someone else how you want it done, rather than buying and installing. I mean hey, it seems that most of the time you're at least watching it being done and helping instead of just dumping it off at a shop and not looking at It until you pick it up a month later.
