Why not go truggy? Is the bed that important..

P.S. get a roll cage man it will save your life. Id tell you to ask my cousin about roll cages, but he is dead.

I kind of though the same thing why not truggy? Roll cage definitley need to be added, especially if your climbing rocks like that.

I know I need a cage..Just really started getting into crawling before it was all glamis and trails..I dont have the tools to cage the truck just yet.. I have the time off right now and wanted to work on the truck with little out of pocket.. I like the way the trucks look dovetailed instead of just caged..Trying to keep the look of a truck a lil with it still being able to work better and fit places..We will see how it goes..If I dont like it worse case scrap the bed and tube it later down the road..Going to finish it up this weekend and hit TDS next weekend then try to do the front..You all know how it is there is always something to do..All it takes is MONEY and time
