Flatbed Thread
Flatbed Thread
Ok like redranger4.0 did for the Exo Cage Thread... due to recent happenings i want to start a flatbed thread since its looking like thats where my trucks goin with the exocage instead of buying a new bed and trying to cage it in...
so same deal here, post up pics of flatbed's you've seen and/drawings you may have.
heres my requirements so far for the bed to contain/hold
1) Room for atleast a 38" spare
2) 60" Hi Lift
3) some sort of toolbox (stuff like axle shafts)
4) spare F/R driveshafts
5) Spot for a winch and fairlead
6) C02 tank (maybe)
7) compartments for tools/chain/straps/winch cable/fluids
8) bottle opener - little novelty item... hardly anyone drinks bottles at camp, sure as hell not on the trail but w/e
9) cooler built in or spot for cooler (cant believe i almost forgot that!!)
10) air tank, i'll probably build that in somewhere below the floor and have a connection poking up
11) place for a shovel
12) place for 2 - 5 gallon jerry cans
13)
optional--if theres room) place to bolt 1-2 plastic chairs(race) with harnesses for a hell of a ride

those were originally made for trailers until the company started converting them to truck beds....I would love to build one personally.....they weigh approx. 300 lbs completly built, plus the weight of your cargo
yea, but then it looks like a PITA to get stuff down.
and there goes all my space for building storage bins in the floor
i'll probably have 2 pieces of tubing coming off the roof part of the cage like some pics and i'll mount the tire up there.
