You're gunna want to brace those body mounts you made, they will bend if you hit anything while out wheelin and then your bed will be messed up which would suck!

if you can weld, you could rip the 4x4 tube down to 2 x 2 "c-channel and make some stake mounts for side rails on the bed

anybody got any idea's on how to add a over head light bar coming up from the bed above the cab a lil bit. and still be able to use it when i build my exo cage for the cab?

i still have a loada square tube but im not digging the idea of straight squares up the side of the cab sticking out a beyond the body cab lines

dont have a bender or i'd bend it inwards and curve it

alright ppl give me some idea's on where to go from here. or tell me i've screwd up totaly nothing is weldeded as of yet so lets hear it all.
im thinking about running 3" raisers under the deck adding another 4x4" between the 2 frames running 2 bolts to hold the deck down better then take a run beads all over from the frame to the deck and make it one solid piece.

but what can i do to make it look better ( function is mainly for hauling , fenders and all that will decrease my hauling larger objects.) but i also want to leave enough room for larger tires and flex (if i ever get them to flex the springs are shot almost flat)

Thats pretty good..
Why dont you frame it out of 4x4?
and then put supports in the middle.
If you just have the platform like that, you'll end up cutting yourself..
