Jackrabbit41 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I just made this on sketch up. First time 3d modeling. The dimensions aren't perfect but this is what i want to build. I'm trying to keep my truck nice and protected without going full on cage and stuff like that. Any body have any ideas about this? thanks [/url]">http:// [/url]">http://http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Jackrabbit123/media/IMG_4704_zpsq1oeqrkz.jpg.html'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I like it. That is exactly what I am going to do for mine. You will want to tie the wings into the frame as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJam86 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Looks similar to mine. Definitely tie the sides into the frame. I didnt and i came down on a rock and out a little dent in the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86manche207 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 you could also tie it into some tube fenders and rock sliders that is what i would like to do with mine like a full wrap. i don't really like full exo cages either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit41 Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Ya I'm going to work on it so more and add some tie ones and mock up the frame mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJam86 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Mine is tied into my stiffeners so i didnt use tabs. It was 3/8" thick i believe, as i also wanted it beefy for tire supprt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that black stuff you used around the edges of the bed after you cut them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the black stuff is just black truck bed liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
