Motor heat does pretty good lol. Could put some electric heat strips under it. Got room to do a slide out extension underneath. Probably hit it with some white bedliner when done.

I think he’s getting Braven tires. There’s no way they will sling mud with that slick tread

Probably not. That was more enjoyable than "plumbers mud hole" to bad everyone else couldn't see it!

Thankfully I don't have to spin my tires for traction so no Braven problem here.

I really think you need to make it bigger. Jack it up. Swap your 4 runner tires underneath it.

That IH is cute but if you want to put out fires and drive off-road, you need a Pierce Hawk Extreme on the Oshkosh MTVR chassis.

The bed looks awesome. I've had an idea I've been pondering on. I've been looking at ways to build a load leveling kit with 2 small air bags. I dont like how bad it squats when loaded. Have you ever considered anything of the sort?

I looked into it a while back. Packaging was kind of the hard thing. Looked like the easist and most compact would be to just replace the rear shocks with fox, king, etc air shocks. They dont tend to work that great at high speed. Would probably take to time to get the valving right. Other options would be an additional air shock with the valving removed or maybe a bellcrank/linkage to get airbags under the bed.

Ok this is a REALLY s***ty drawing but you're a smart guy you'll get it. My thought is you want to keep the same quality of ride and that's what's kept me from air shocks. When loaded down with weight if you could simply push the shock further down it would resolve the squatting issue. I could do that by cranking the springs but I'm not going to spend an hour doing that every time.
Here is a drawing with an air bag on an arm that would move the shock up or down. Normal riding the airbag would be collapsed with internal bumper. When loaded just pump up the air bag.
