After the wash job decided to remove the plastic bed liner since it was showing signs of rust on top of the bed rails. When i removed the bed liner i had about a fifty cent piece sized hole rusted thru the bed. . So after a little cutting and grinding. I welded some plates top and bottom over the hole. Then off to have a spray in bed liner put in. View attachment 99628

Sweet platform! Do you plan on putting the shell back on or will you go a different route for the bed?

Right now i plan to leave it off and run a tool box but i haven't sold it yet because im not a 100% on my decision. I like it off for waterfowl hunting because its easier to get to the decoys and other stuff i need in the back of the bed. Plus it makes it easier to spray out after the hunt.

Cool. I'm toying with the idea of a hard shell but do like the convenience of the open bed. I currently have a roll up soft tonneau and enjoy it but want something more secure. I'm looking at the diamond back covers, they're pretty sweet.

Yea a guy on you tube llod or last line of defense has one on his tacoma and they are definitely rugged. Check out his YouTube if your looking for a review on the diamond back.

Did some suspension work this time i was off. Front got ome, spc adjustable control arms, and diff spacer. Rear got progressive add a leaf pack with ome. But while doing the suspension found my rack and pinion is getting weak so that will probably be my next project.View attachment 104140View attachment 104141View attachment 104142
