Bedsides

dobber · Jul 10, 2007

Decided to add some bedsides to my rig. only have one side done so far. What do you all think? :awesomework: ,

uke: , or just plain :rb: .

So far I like the look.

Oh yeah and I had to go do some testing to see how much more flex my new bedside got me

I am liking it but what if you trimming that wheel well piece so it does not hang past that lower bar? looks like it could hangup on stuff... Just a thought...

does the front end flex? is the rear jsut so soft that it takes al the flex away from the front, like if you were to back up onto something the front would have a better chance of flexing, cus it almost looks as though it has the flex of an IFS rig right now, btw, i like the rig, and always have, that link setup in the rear is pretty dang crazy

Isn't this the same rig, that last time I saw it, it was wearing a 'smile' axle?

Looks great with the skins. I'd trim those points off though. Tires cost too much, after jumps and flex.

Listen to me. I don't even have a rig to go wheeling in. What do I know...?

I like the skins too:awesomework: how did you go about attaching it? i'm kind of in the same realm as you, i just gutted my bed idea and now want to just attach the bed sides to the toob.

I thought about trimming it off because it is the only loose part that flops around a bit. I tied it back and it made it look funny so I think trimming it would do the same. Ill just let it hang down and see what happens.

The front flexes a little bit but not much. The back does take all the flex. Im hoping to get the front to move like the back this winter when I link it up.
The front does flex a little more when backing onto someting.

It is held on my 5 self tapping screws at the points where the sides met the tube or other parts of the truck.
