get er done!

Thanks, glad ya liked it!

yes, better off the flat beds are super cool! I will be making another video when it cools off a bit, going to be installing a winch behind the rear window and making a simple removable set of rails to fit on the bed.

appreciate it, thanks!

Don’t forget to press subscribe Julian gotta keep me liquor fund going

I angled it in, another thing you can do is just put the boards in then cap the end or make it removable, thanks! I put the boards in sideways. Then used a hammer to knock them straight. Wasn’t too bad to do.

oh i dont remember the size, you know the bed bolts that bolts it onto the frame? i used the same size bolt probably 1/2 inch like you mentioned about they are probably 2 inches long or so with locknuts on them. I used fully threaded bolts so it dont matter and grade 5. Grade 8 is a bit of overkill. Thanks.

the length is almost 7 feet that i went with. I took 7 feet of square tubing and chopped 2 inches off. That way it is longer then 6.5 ft(normal box size). Mainly just eyeballed the length i wanted. thanks

awesome , glad you liked the videos!

That’s pretty pricey bah lol I’m in Newfoundland and got the metal used / recycled. I’d say it cost me about 600 or so in metal. Plus wood and paint and stuff

@MuddyThumper I'll definitely be going the scrapyard route, was hoping to do it this weekend but gonna have to hold off a couple more weeks. Also got a 5 inch lift in the way and need new tires for that 😅$$

Where’s the material list?

nice! and thanks, the truck has a 3 inch body lift on the front / cab and 33x12.50x15 mud tires. Need to replace the tires soon with some new ones.

I cut them to size and angled them. If I redone it , I would make the rear piece removable. But wasn’t to hard to fit them in

@@muddythumper8152 I’ve seen them flexed with a jack to get them in on trailers, was wondering if people were doing the same w flat beds. I plan on making one for my 01 tundra this summer so doing some research lol.

@@bvictory5698 yea I basically put the board in on a angle, then used a hammer to knock them straight, would be easier with like 2x6 or something too

I welder angle all around then cut the boards to the proper size then angled them in. Was pretty easy. A easier way to do it is to make the rear angle section removable. But it wasn’t hard

@@muddythumper8152 awesome, I'm planning on putting a flatbed on mine in the next few weeks

@@mattnewson7645 nice, i made rails to go on mine so far since. I am going to have a swing out gate made when i get the chance and installing a winch for the toys. I love the metal wood flatbed

Newfoundland Canada me buddy. Thanks !

Thanks , I used inch and half by inch and a half by 1/8 wall square tubing. 1.5x1.5x1/8 works great. I didn’t bend anything just cut it for the angle. Some people use 2 by 2 but for me 1.5 is more then enough.

Oh nice. What angle did you use on it. The one I'm building tho is with diamond plating

@@danielmaslin8063 I’ll measure it for ya tomorrow. I kind of followed the window contour it’s likely to be about 55 degrees Diamond plate is great pricey here

@@muddythumper8152 Yeah it's a little pricey but it's not to bad. I like the look of it better with the diamond plate tho. Thank you so much

id say about 800 CAD in total. I bought all the metal new. I could have made it out of scrap pipe but wanted to go with square steel

I bought extra cause i always work on projects. I got a rough idea on what you would need. if you do the lower just flat bed part it will about this : qty 5 6 feet 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 switch tubing 1/8 wall qty 2 7 feet 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 switch tubing 1/8 wall + 2 inch switch tubing for risers about 4 feet 2x2 x 1/8 2 inch flat bar 3x16 thick about 4 feet. 2x8 sheet of 14 gauge sheet metal Not forgot to add - i used 3 inch angle 3x16 thick. that is qty 2 x7ft foot sticks and qty 2 x6ft foot pieces thats what traps the wood in. For wood i just used 2x10's, 7 if i recall if you plan on adding tie down points like i did, you will need flatbar for that about 20 feet long 1 1/2 width 1/8 or 3/16 your choice. for the rear rack going up that was about 8 feet of square tubing again. hopefully it gives you a decent idea. My bed turned out to be almost 7 feet long ( i chopped like a inch or two for how it looked) and it is 6 feet wide. I love it though, very versatile. In the near future when time allows ill be modifying this flatbed again and building a winter canopy :) Cheers- Muddy

@@muddythumper8152 Thank you so much! Bed mounts rotted off and the bed is sitting weird now so I figured might as well get rid of the whole bed lol. You’re a lifesaver 🙏

@@cassidydumont5996 no problem! same thing happened to me, i had to change my fuel pump and the box fell apart. I watch rangers driving around town, id say 95% of them have the front box mounts rusted off cause the body line sits lower lol!
