Never thought of getting a long bed to bob. Makes sense though.

Keep us posted and take pics on weekends. LOL

Good luck.

i love a bobbed longbed on a toyota. personally, i like the looks of your bobbed longbed better than your flatbed.

CO 4runner · 11-05-2009, 09:37 PM

akaphilly · 11-07-2009, 04:29 AM

pics...the beds not bolted down. its sitting there. the cab needs to be painted, i might extend the sliders, fenders still need trimming.

stock as possible · 11-07-2009, 07:10 AM

Looks really good man, did you use spray cans?

yoder519 · 11-07-2009, 07:17 AM

look sgreat! how much of a body lift you got?

shaeff · 11-07-2009, 08:15 AM

That looks fantastic! Great job dude! I LOVE the look, (and obviously the functionality) of it!

dannomite · 11-07-2009, 10:31 AM

Looks great! Thanks for continuing to keep up with the updates despite some "non focused" comments that were attempting to take away from the point of the thread.

akaphilly · 11-07-2009, 10:52 AM

thanks guys. no body lift. the bed is sitting on hockey pucks cuz i dont have any extra body mounts. no spray paint. rustoleum stuff from homedepot rolled on.. the cab is same stuff just 2 years faded/beat

dwnhiller93 · 11-07-2009, 11:55 AM

Truck looks good by the way akaphilly
planning on bobbing my bed in a week or so. Or I might wait until spring. Not sure yet

spanish-road · 11-07-2009, 12:50 PM

nice looking bed

Doc.Gneoson · 11-07-2009, 03:48 PM

wow thats a tough read lol, to bad someone keeps interupting its a good thread, sweet job on the bed akaphilly! i want to do mine one day. that must of been tough welding the older stile bed rails.

foot0069 · 11-07-2009, 06:14 PM

Can't see really well from the pics but looks like a real nice blend on the tail weld. The contours look good. Again pretty work.

85toy · 11-07-2009, 06:53 PM

nice job OP, i love the look of bobbed longbeds. its funny how many ppl in this thread says its all about how you want it to look, when really its all about departure angle. also bobbed bed looks AND functions a whole lot better than the flat bed.
oh and a stock 84-88 longbed/extracab wheelbase is 115" hub to hub, just to clarify someone on the first page said it was 121.5"

**waskillywabbit** · 11-07-2009, 07:11 PM

Looks good! Good "old" beds are getting harder and harder to find in decent condition.

PS. Quit hi-jacking this guy's thread or get a temp vacation to talk to yourself.

Lumpy · 11-07-2009, 07:16 PM

I do like that look! Good going!!!

dannomite · 11-07-2009, 07:53 PM

Wabbit I assume that you cleaned up this thread. If so thanks.

akaphilly · 11-08-2009, 05:59 AM

thanks wabbit. let me say its possible for a single guy to put a bed on from 15 feet away. thanks to my crappy dolly and a peice of wood. i kinda guessed on my new shock mounts and made them too short. so i need smaller shocks. hopefully everything will be done before i go to lousiana next week.

final note. got the bed for free. spent 10 bucks on blades. and had all the paint. i am happy! the flatbed pic i posted was when it was new. heres is side profile shot, looks horrible.

**waskillywabbit** · 11-08-2009, 06:05 AM

No comparison to which looks better IMO.

Evil.Dingo · 11-08-2009, 07:14 AM

Looks great!!!

Like the Hilux badge too.

aerocorey · 11-08-2009, 07:36 AM

I don't get it, why would you get a long bed just to bob it? I thought the flatbed looked better. You did a bad job anyway. Blah, blah, blah, hate...

It looks good man. Is that your DD, or just for wheeling? Either way, a clean NE truck. It looks kind of like an xtra cab without the xtra cab. Was it harder to bob the frame or bob the bed? Is there any point in bobbing an xtra cab? I'm looking at mine now and I think I could only take out like 6 inches.
