    Now that it's not as sunny out I got a pic of the flatbed side marker lights


    Also got my 2nd shipping container delivered the other day. Next they will be moved around a bit and have a roof built over the 14' gap in between em.

    Ya it's going to be a great upgrade, I got a 7' roll up door installed on the side that will be facing inside the covered area. Can use it like a shop.

    We are working on moving the 14'W x 20'L workshop that is in my way currently. I want a garage eventually where the workshop is so it has to go.

    My neighbor is figuring out a way for us to get it dragged across the road.

    New bed box, wanted to install it tonight but the weather did not want to cooperate. Maybe tomorrow night.

    Just got it in position, made sure it won't be drilling into anything.

    I like this position.

    Still 4'3" remaining space in the bed, more than enough for a regular pallet.

    Thanks boys!

    Lots of work into it lately, seems like it is all coming together.

    I have never used or had a bed box before, should be fun :cookiemonster:

    All this work on the truck lately has been for 1 purpose. Turn it into a work truck to allow me to start a new business.

    Picked up stage 2 of the operation today, dustless sandblasting trailer.

    Looks slick AF my truck pulling this rig.

    Glad I could help. I’m not an expert so wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Glad it’s as I described.

    looking forward to see the truck as a workhorse.

    Lots of things I am learning for the 1st time lately.

    Never towed anything before, went and picked up a max towing weight trailer for the rig and brought it home, 3 hours of towing when learning how was awesome.

    Used my rack for the 1st time today, picking up all the wood to make shelves in my new shipping container.


    Truck is performing awesome, all the money spent is paying off.

    Replaced the hood latch just now.


    Having the hood 'pop' open to the secondary latch on every time you hit the highway and get to 110kmh is a bit scary to say the least.

    Along with the wind noise going under the hood wow was ridiculous. :bananadead:
