nice piece rolled in today ... 200K ~ 124thou. mi but lots of rust.


started at 12:45 this afternoon .




got the canopy and box rear bumper and camper-tie-downs off in 2 hours .

frame looks great ... best I have seen up here anyway .

pulled it back in , and started on the front end ... got the fenders off , and grill off ...


washed it out , and felt inside to see if any "gunk" was inside ... NOTHING .


got the NEW bed on ...just sitting there .. time to go get my son


and thats it (3:45PM) for my day .

 

got more done today ... tailgate is fitted , and lights in .

R fender on ..


and check out the lines ....



I'm really happy with them , very minor work needed to make them perfect .

L fender done ... and were ready for paint .




goes out tomorrow morn .

 

very nice work ..

 

where did you get the fiberglass bed? Would that same bed fit a 89-95 pickup or does the company make a replacement for the newer model?

 

looks nice! post more pics after paint

 

http://www.toyotafiberglass.com ..

they build all kinds of replacement beds and fenders and stuff .

 

for sure.

 

Man, that is one hell of a machine. Good work. Whats the next step with that after a good coat of paint? And what color is that going to be?

 

totally stock ... same color ... shes an SR5 with the nice buckets ... real nice piece .

 

If you dont mind posting up i would be curious to know how much a bed like that goes for. If not that is totally fine.

 

Hey i know an easier way to remove the bed!!!

 

maybe leaving it on till it rusts off ? :pat:


share ... but I think , for a "one man job" and a couple of hours ... I did ok ...
