Not MJ beds. Doesn’t count.

True but this is also a idea on how he can store his mj beds

That’s big brain right there. 

[Muncher]

all of my ideas are big brain

I don't want to store them, I want to bring them north to needy MJ owners.    doing one at a time isn't very cost effective though.  I think I can fit 4 on a uhaul trailer, but that has yet to be proven.

If your ever coming through Iowa again I would definitely buy a short bed.

Both Pete and I are planning to go to the All Breeds Jeep show next July. I could probably deliver one or at least get close to you. 

[JMO413]

I could be down for that. I keep debating on road trip to Texas there's a few listed on car part.

It would be great if you could find a black one with the Pioneer stripes.

I could always dream right?

[Pete M]

I think I'll just start naming them with their number.  I think this is #8?  been in an accident but the passs side is mostly fine and it's, of course, rust free.  

 

 

[Pete M]

not really.  or at least not at this time.  the only 2 messed up beds are both messed up in the rear.   

[Pete M]

also: Tex06 delivered #9 to me today from Louisiana because he is a freakin' legend.    details and photos in the morning.    

 

also, also: his truck is totally drool worthy

By chance have you looked at several sets of inside mj flares? I've had a couple sets now that are like a clear/whiteish/translucent inside that's not painted that I gather are still original outer factory paint. I might still have a silver set.

 

"inside flares"?  you mean the little bit of black plastic that hides the flare hardware?

[Pete M]

guess I need to go check that out in the daylight

It’s morning and I have no patience. Let’s see it!

[Pete M]

It's decent.  has some flaws here and there but is otherwise solid.

 

[87MJTIM]

SB or LB?

 

If LB I could be interested in the passenger side skin.

[Pete M]

at this time I don't have a lwb that I'm willing to cut up rather than sell whole.  whenever it is that I can make another trip north that is.   who knows what this upcoming year will bring.  I'm still hoping that I can indeed fit 4 on that flatbed uhaul trailer and thus be able to justify the fuel for a wide swing off my normal I-75 path (i.e. either up the east coast or over towards MN). 

[87MJTIM]

Are the wheel arches the same for SB and LB?  Could you/would you cut out the wheel arch?

 

Is the lower, rear section the same profile for both SB and LB?

[Pete M]

the wheel arches should be the same.  the rear lower edge of the bed is a slightly different tapered angle.  I've got 4 longbeds at the moment if you're in need.   all need a bit of body work here and there, but all are rot free.

Thanks Pete! Was nice to finally put a face with an avatar! 

[Pete M]

brought home number 10 today   pics once both the sun and myself are up tomorrow

[Pete M]

I should probably change the title of the thread.    these pics are the best I can do until I get some different lighting outside.  it's a dark shape with very bright surroundings. 

 

this corner edge seems to be the worst spot.  very straight and clean bed.  I might hang on to this one.

SWB or LWB? If its SWB, I know a guy who might want it, right @JMO413?
