Email me your address and I'll send you one.

You mounted the frame on 4 or 6 of the original body mounts? Only saw 4. Great idea to make it removable.

Makes me want to go finish restoring my bed.

The flatbed frame is mounted on all 6 locations. The two mounts right behind the firewall are 1/4" lower than the back 4 mounts. I drilled a hole in the flatbed angle iron to meet up with the stock front holes. I ran a bolt, a 1/4"spacer, lock washer and washer to secure it.
I PM'ed my address!!!

Speaking of the softopper, Spearo did you ever sell yours?

algranger · 09-17-2009, 08:32 AM

Just when i thought your rig couldnt get any better. Really nice work not just anybody could put together a creation like that

toyospearo · 09-17-2009, 08:36 AM

This truck did have the old soft topper

long-haul · 09-17-2009, 08:37 AM

That, friend, was well worth the wait. Thank you.

Wheelingnoob · 09-17-2009, 09:50 AM

Blown away yet again by your truck! Awesome fab work and one of the best executed trucks I have seen in a long time.

Ty · 09-17-2009, 10:15 AM

where did you learn all this stuff?
You did a very good job, you should be very proud. I know i would if i made that. Your attention to detail really shows, great job.

RMA · 09-17-2009, 10:27 AM

Great Job Man !!!!

Love the multi use rail system you guys came up with .

Congrats!

86Toyrunna · 09-17-2009, 04:59 PM

amazing job toyo. once again your truck is sOoO SICK! i love seeing flat beds that arnt just a "flat bed".

phildelfino · 09-17-2009, 05:40 PM

Great looking flatbed. I liked the soft topper though, too.

BLKNBLU · 09-17-2009, 08:53 PM

I like!
Nice work.

89silverpu · 09-17-2009, 10:13 PM

That's looks awesome! Looks heavy though, hows the spring rate on those springs holding up? You gunna need new springs? Also, I wouldn't mount the high lift there...too susceptible to gettin smashed on somethin or gettin clogged with mud on a trail when you need it most...just somethin to think about. Trucks lookin great as always.

toyospearo · 09-18-2009, 09:53 PM

I might add a leaf to the spring pack. I just put new OME leafs on and they seem to be fine for now.
The jack location is kind of a test. This week I am heading into the mountains and sort of test things out.

toyospearo · 09-22-2009, 05:11 PM

I added a leaf to the springpack. Sits up a bit higher than level now and is a little more stiff! I took it out to break it in this weekend and get things dusty..
Oh yea, the jerry can is an issue.
Sometime next week I am going to fab something up and attach it somewhere on the bed.

toyospearo · 09-25-2009, 05:36 PM

I had far too many issues with my gas jerry can on my last wheeling trip so I decided to come up with something new. I had John help me with the desgin. It is super solid and strong!!

here is where it is mounted- To the tool box...

floats off the bed by a few inches...

welded a big washer and glued a rubber stopper to hold it in place with the turn knob...

dannomite · 09-25-2009, 06:18 PM

Once again that looks uber pro. Nice work.

annoyingrob · 09-25-2009, 06:33 PM

but what stops people from stealing it?

toyospearo · 09-25-2009, 07:19 PM

I rigged in a pin switch detonator located in a secret spot only I know where the on/off is. When the dirtbag attempts to remove the gas can... KAPPPOOOWWWW!!! 5 gallon gas bomb!!!!

Just kidding.
I am working on some way to secure it

Madmaxb · 09-25-2009, 08:46 PM

Thats the best looking flatbed i have seen made from scratch u have a great skill there

How much does it weigh?

toyospearo · 09-25-2009, 08:49 PM

Thanks!!
close to 400lbs maybe a little more.

1989SHO1992SR5 · 09-25-2009, 09:58 PM

First post! That is some truly awesome fab work dude! I cant wait to start wrenching on my 92 runner! Great work it looks frickin awsome!

toyospearo · 09-25-2009, 10:01 PM
