Yeah, he's got a real nice one. Also the AOR kit is very nice looking to.

I like Dirtoyboy's choice of rear lights. I really don't like seing those cheap round lights on the back of flat beds. They need real tail lights.

when I have access to a tube bender I will make a close copy to this one I really like it but when I made mine it was not in the budget

Thanks! I appreciate the comments, Swamp thing...

The tail lights are from an old FJ.. the box is a Knaack construction box.... 3/8 inch ATP..Im scrapping it soon to build a tube bed but it served me very well...
