    Videos of the donuts look like a good time. The other video was private. Love that rack combo you got going on

    Thoughts have been lingering on converting to flatbed. Something like this but with different upper bars. Thoughts?

    I have thought about it for work purposes, making it a work/offroad flatbed, but I didn't see the advantage that would warrant the cost. They do look awesome though. However, if your getting a bunch of body damage to the bed, then I can see the advantage of it. Also it make it easier to shrink the overall length of the truck which will improve clearance on slopes and stuff.

    I have similar thoughts on it. I have always been the one to make a change for the sake of change and customization.

    Well it always comes down to what you want. If you plan the flatbed with storage containers, or other add ons, that fits what you do with the truck and it makes sense, then why not. For me personally, it doesn't make sense practically or money wise. But hey, if youz gots mula, why the hell not. Its not like your throwing a spoiler on it :p

    At least you know how to fix it. It's the worst when you don't know what's wrong let alone how to fix the problem

    Did you end up getting it started after you towed it out? Haven't been following the other thread.

    Hope it all works out man. :cheers:
