I did pull from SEMA this year. Build is still going, I had to pull back just a bit because of outside reasons. I work in healthcare and we all know there are a lot of changes at the moment. This is not going to turn into a political discussion, and I must put family first. I didnāt lose my...
Thatās funny. Honestly itās so thick at 3/16, Iām already in the overkill zone. Yet the bed still come in around 100lb so it fit what I needed and didnāt add a bunch of weight.

this is what iām lining the bed with.

I havenāt gotten much done, but my son sure did š
Iām working on the rear cabin framing tonight, should have some updated photos for the weekend.
The funny part on that is he broke his leg and had a lot of time strapped in the chair while I worked on the bronco. You just canāt see the cast under his sisters pants and socks
I think everyone will be extremely happy with the final design of this. I agree is hard to make it look right. The gladiator is a funky one to start, as I donāt like the proportions on the rear. But I also put looks over ābedā function. The bed will appear 5ā long but the actual bed space is...
