Paul Bruchal Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 Anybody have a Flatbed MJ? I'm having one made for mine except Stained Wood Floors :D Wide as the frame. Maybe small walls. Roll cage/Rear exo cage over top. Any pics of yours?
Pete M Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 surprisingly few people seem to have done that. or at least very few who are here. this is a random MJ I found on the net. clearly not what you're thinking of.
Paul Bruchal Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 Looks better than what I currently have now. lol
Paul Bruchal Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 I just found this: Its pretty much what i was thinking, except more wood. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2217811/1 ... egular-cab
ShadeMJ Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 I was thinking about it on mine but thought it made the truck too buggy-ish as I was thinking about having the bottom be black diamond mesh like this But I've decided to stick with the bed for now.
lostissues Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 found a few here http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz= ... 0gH-rr2MAg
Paul Bruchal Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 I don't know why, google.com freezes my internet...so i never look there.
xjrev10 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Id like to see more pics of what you guys have seen before. I would like to built a flatbed for the plow MJ. Expanded metal :wall: I don't like expanded metal. (i.e. diamond mesh) Sucks to weld, isnt cheap, and if you use for a trailer, flatbed, whatever, all the road grime comes right up through the stuff so your gear does not stay very protected.
Comanche County Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Weren't the factory DRWs all flatbeds?
Pete M Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 no such thing as a "factory" dually MJ. far as we can tell they were fabbed up by an aftermarket company. but we still don't have an owner here to confirm the details. and they came with regular beds: plus anyone can convert their to dual wheel using a kit. :thumbsup: my favorite dually:
Paul Bruchal Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 I know a Toyota isnt even close to a Jeep MJ. But all I'm looking for is a cool flatbed design. http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/sho ... tbed-Ideas
Pete M Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 no harm in stealing ideas from other makes. :D
lostissues Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 check out pirate4x4 for other ideas, they have a few threads on flatbed pictures (not a lot of jeeps but you can get ideas.)
Paul Bruchal Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 no harm in stealing ideas from other makes. :D lmao
Comanche County Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I thought there was a guy in HI with a factory dually, 6 or 7 were made? :dunno:
05mxdiesel Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I threw this together in a day and about $70 worth of lumber until I decide whether or not to get new bedsides on the original bed. 64 inches wide, 8 ft long, perfect for hauling firewood, motorcycles or atvs. here's another one from another member below.
Paul Bruchal Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 Is the bottom one yours too? I really like it! Is the floor wood?
Paul Bruchal Posted December 30, 2011 Author Posted December 30, 2011 I still want the Wood floor bed but this cage around it. Just needs to be made real life scale. lol http://www.axialracing.com/ftp/scx10_honcho/index.html
