If you send it in an email to me dont post it haha

Im thinking about making it tilt backwards. Just depends. Sideways might be cool enough.

yes i know.

I still want some good pictures and who prefers what. Airbag? Airactuator? Hydrolic Actuator?

ive seen airbags used and airshocks. as for hinges, similar to a trailer gate would work fine.

i was tossing this idea around for my yota for later on when i find a better bed. anyways but my buddy was telling me the best would be some actuators and was telling me that autoloc has the hinges, tracks, and actuators to do it properly.i believe they have a kit setup but couldnt find it at first. but the actuators are kinda pricey depending on how far you wanna go. but thats where i would look at.
