Clamps???

I needed them to position everything. I got a Tig welder buddy that’s gonna stitch them all together for me once they are where I want them and all together.

Looks awesome man I love the lights. Especially the reverse lights.

Lookin good

Yessir. I’ll have a couple of straps and d rings on the ramps to keep them from sliding.

Did you get the air bags installed?

I’m doing another row of lights under the doors and under the front bumper. I added it up and it should be somewhere around 90 lights all said and done

Nope, not yet.

So, airbags, stacks,more lights, what else?

A friend made a set that hooked into solid slots on the back so he didn't need straps. then the side of the ramps had square tubing welded on and they set Into the stake pockets on the side of the bed.

They were 8' long and it was nice they doubled as bed sides.

Bags, stacks, lights, paint, tires, brakes, front bumper.

That’s more or less what mine are now, they have a lip that hooks on the edge kind of. Eventually it will have a winch so i don’t even have to drive it up. I’m setting mine up as a stake side of sorts as well but they are only 6’ long.

Gonna have this bad boy ready by the takeover?

Maybe, but still going to bring the Durango most likely. Don’t know if I’ll have the budget for 6 new tires and brakes on all 4 corners in a months time.

Your flat bed is 9’ right? Is that the bear minimum in length that it would still fit? If 9’ long what did you do after the frame rails to help support the weight of the rear end of the machine. Do you still have a useable hitch to pull a trailer?

Mine is 9’5” long. I used 4x4 cross braces along with 2x12 side rails and 2x10 deck boards. The tires sit directly on the cross rails. I used a 6” extension to still have the hitch sit flush with the back bumper.

 

[popeye]

So the extension is like a super hitch? Do you think that the extension will need any extra side load support? I think the super hitch’s run chains out to the side of the frame. Was 9’6” the shortest you could go and still get the 1000 to fit? I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing a flatbed too
