Not a big fan of them fenders but the quality looks ace!
I would like to see some custom rear bed skins for a 3rd gen pu that raise the wheel well to match the front

Corey those actually look pretty good on the truck. Wasn't really sure how they'd look from the off vehicle pictures.
Anyplans on producing a complete box with the larger flare?
Oh yeah, what's you're booking schedule/production like? The more I'm thinking about it the more I want a new box.

I was wondering how you put support into the bed floor but I just checked on your site. Those beds look amazing.
I had alot of trouble with the floor of the box I had on my 84 cracking at the mounting points during hard landings. Ended up putting a 3/4 inch sheet of plywood under it and using angle iron to support the edges. Good call on using the wood to give it some mass too, I could literally squat the rear end of that truck off the ground by myself and I'm just a wee guy!
do you have to add flex agents to the mix when you paint them? I had piles of faint spider cracks on mine from what I assumed was flex and rocks hitting the underside.

Bill ... already done ..
this is the mould picture .. so it does NOT have the corriguated floor .
you use the same front fenders as pictured above .
as for booking .. SUPER busy .. there is a wait time .

12 years .. and only 2 warranties . they are built tough . as you said , the wood works awesome as a bace , and it is totally sealed , also offers strength , and durability .. as well as , when completed , OUR bed and the stock bed weigh vertually the same .
the spiders are because of the resins , and proceedure used .. on our older pieces , we use to use a GP (general purpose) resin .. most manufactures do ... but because of shrinkage /telephotoing .. we opted for a better quality resin (all with NO increases in product pricing) on ALL of our pieces we now use ISO. resin (4 years now) We have basically illimated spider cracks , blisters and peals .. also basically NO shrinkage . I recommend painting as normal .

looks cool for baja type stuff. I dont know if it would have too long of a life on trails in my opinion just because fiberglas cracks and metal just bends

That's killer. I'm more a fan of the rounded look, maybe that's why I'm a 1st/3rd gen p/u fan.
haha
