Looks like a huge improvement. How much did you get rid of inches wise.

Well, i should have about half of the welding done by the end of tonight. Tomorrow hopefully i will have the welding done. My Jeep has been giving me problems today, so I might take it in tomorrow which will slow me down if I decide to do that. Ill take a few pics when i'm done for the night.

I started welding it back together. I did quite a bit on the inside of the box to get the hang of welding sheetmetal. Then a began on the outside. Ive gotta get a carbon block to help fill a few gaps i got.

I worked on it some more tonight, finished welding the bedsides, and did some grinding on them also. I still need to do some fine tune grinding.

 

[v10sport]

Its looking good Justin. Think you will have it done this weekend??

 

[wickedakota]

Nope i gotta work on my Jeep, adjust the bands, and change fluid and filter. Hopefully that will fix the problem im having with it. I still have to weld the bed of the truck and grind it down, then bondo the bedsides sand them down and paint them, and spray bedliner in the bed.

 

[wickedakota]

I finished the welding and the grinding tonight. Tomorrow im gonna to the body work and possibly paint or i will paint it on Tuesday hopefully.

Are you going go extend the bumper to protect the the side of the bed? Doesnt look like it would take much.
