lol.. just got home from work and to dark for pics. the bed had to be bobed. if it wasnt, the last body mount and 18 inchs would have been floating. and being such bad condition it wouldnt have lasted. sorry i'm not from a rust free zone.

Was my math semi correct? I just think it's bada** that you have the off road capability of a bobbed bed but you can still use camper shells and such. I like it.

Pretty work. Looks good. You woulda crapped yourself over the 944 turbo I saw in the upulit a while back. Couldn't believe it when I saw it. Had a not so crumpled left fender and the rest of the car looked day one.Wish I had a seen it before it hit the yard.

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.
