If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?

Very nice! I have built several flatbeds and welding beds in my time and can appreciate your fabrication skills.

But for the clearance, indestructable. Great work!

Beefing up the motor at all?
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Beefing up the motor at all? No, the only reason we’re lifting the rear is bc of the leveling kit and the loads that may go on it. This flatbed isn’t going to weigh very much at all, we’re using 11 and 14 gauge tubing for everything except the frame runners.

That looks great. I have a 2011 that has turned out to be the best hunting truck I've ever owned. I bought it new, it's a daily driver for my long work commute with 225k on it. Tacomas are light, they don't sink or bury up. Keep the pic's coming.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Yesterday we got the headache rack finished up, floor and skirts welded on, and added a couple of gussets underneath and a basket at the front. Today we are adding a tailboard, hoop steps, and finishing up the floor then it will be ready to prime before getting lined tomorrow.  571 by Mike Gunter, on Flickr  574 by Mike Gunter, on Flickr  573 by Mike Gunter, on Flickr
