Went out this week camping wheeling in the pouring rain.
No better way to haul firewood than with a flatbed!!!

haha I hear that, I remember my first trip to Rausch Creek Off-road park back in march. Got down to 15-20 degrees. Glad I had my Carheart Jacket and a mummy type sleeping bag. Still froze my arse off though. Was not expecting that in the middle of May even in PA.

BTW: make sure you take note of my avatar. Wouldn't want you to scratch up that nice paint. lmao.

I know it took him quite a bit of time and money to build that, but I still say he needs to market that thing. Would probably sell much better than the Allpro one.

Yep that definitely is the coolest flatbed I've seen. The headache rack just puts it over the top, just awesome!

No leaks at all! I am amazed. I filled the tank up about 3 months back after I helped a guy fix a flat during hunting season. Yesterday I moved the air hose and drained the air out. I checked the PSI and it went from 110 to 95 in 3 months so thats not too bad. I do carry a 12v compressor just in case.

The OBA frame is awesome, but I have heard of tanks being made from bumpers and such. My rear bumper will be an OBA tank as well.

However, I have never seen a flatbed/headache rack design that so masterfully complimented the lines of the vehicle for which it was made. This and Toyo's '82 build shows the man has a very keen sense of what a vehicle ought to look like.

WOW! THANKS FOR THAT COMPLIMENT!
After all the money, pain, and suffering going into these builds comments like that make it worthwhile!

I've admired this flatbed for a while now, great work. Best one I've ever seen. Your '82 is really nice too!

Hi new here, this is awsome build threat. Just purchase a wrecked 90 pickup and am planning on putting a fladbed on it. Great design!

My vote: Best flatbed on yotatech. Super clean, very functional. Looks great.

Completely random question though...how did you add tags to your posting?
