We'll be adding a front exo top, and then running it through the top into the cab at a future date as well. Jerry will skin the flatbed himself later too.

Yeah. What is also nice is that if/when he ever 4-links the rear, the current bed will work as is. Those are actually 14" Swayaway coilover shocks. Just no coils on them.

Nice work Scotty! I've been trying to get out and wheel with Jerry for 2 years now. He should be attending the CO4RJ. He had 39.5" Iroks on it but had an incident with his uncle's trailer messing up a couple of his tires.

That's cool but why wouldn't you just meet the kicker bars up where the X bars end instead of them being a few inches away? It just make some dead tubes, not trying to knock it though cause it looks pretty killer other wise.

Because it would have kicked the bars out of line with the lower tube they are welded to. We lined them up so they stay exactly in line with the bed line, and IMO would look like ass if they didn't.

That and eventually we are adding an exo to it, so adding gussets in that area will eventually happen anyway.

Sorry man. I got that message late after we closed and it was too late to call. Then I spaced on it.

FWIW, I wouldn't have been able to get you in for at least a month anyway. I am busy busy busy right now.
