Man I love the flat bed. Your skills are tremendous. If I ever get another Yota as a fun truck, this will be a bed that I take some of your cues from. 1 definate one is the fuel filler, where did you get that from? If you don't mind me asking?

 

Don't mind at all. Thanks for the props!
The fuel filler I got locally from England Marine. If I remember correctly I think it is a 1 1/2" male end and same hose to tank. It is made for boats. They had everything I need to get that thing set up. The fuel/hose aspect of the build was probably the biggest PITA of all.

Looks awesome man!!!

I have to say your truck has been the inspiration I needed to get my sas lower. Its also really made my truck much more enjoyable overall. Next I'm looking at replacing my 33x12.5's with some 33x10.5 or even some 255/85R16's. I also am planing on doing my own body work this fall and winter and repainting my self too. Mine may look very similar to your once its out of the paint booth...but a 2dr 4runner not a P/U.

Again great job on the truck, the new pictures look fantastic.

 

thanks man!
Post pics of your progress on your rigs.

 

As it sits now about 2-3" lower than with the original TG 3" kit.



Before

 

YES!
I love that height! Great looking rig. Thanks for posting that.

 

Yeah I love it too, it looks and drives so much better! Thanks for the props and the motivation again. Beats putting on 37's it to make it look right (easy way out )

 

Sharp!. Really really nice work. I'm looking for some inspiration for a flat bed of my own. I really like your ideas. What kind of steel tubing do you recommend. Will some lightweight tubing be strong enough? Thank you.

 

What did you do to lower yours? Are those 33's in the 2nd pic?

 

Same tires in both pictures, I got rid of the crappy TG 3" springs and put on some OME heavy load front springs for a 84-85 4runner. I also added the extra load leaf but that was not needed and may come out.

 

I thought this was going to be really lame like an aircraft pallet bolted to the frame with a couple of lawnchairs on it... but damn thats nice. It looks like a Jurrasic Park game control vehicle!

 

Agreed, above and beyond. Great work!

 

Thanks for all the nice compliments!!
here is one of this flatbed's main uses. It is great to use as a table and cook station!

 

as if your truck wasn't cool enough toyo... great work, and it looks like it could supress a nuke!... now you just need more power i think a 1uz/3.4 is next

 

sweet flat bed man. that has to be the nicest I have seen. did you kill anything with the bow?

 

see that you replaced two amber lenses with red...isn't that a commie-law they can also ticket for in CA?

 

It probably is..

 

i like your dag..
