I have been wanting to do tub my new bed ever since I did the front and was just going to order the stuff from suicide doors until I got the new mini truckin the other day. I started the process last night and in less than 45 minutes I had all the spot welds drilled out and the old fender wells were gone. I went to the trailer supply store today and for $30.00 I got 2 trailer fenders and the side covers. I still need to get a sheet of steel to make the bridge cover but soo far it's really easy and fairly cheap to do. Here are pics of the progress soo far

Well I finaly made some progress on the tubs. With the bed on the truck I was surprised to find that the axle was fairly centered up. I knew it was off before so I moved it over to the drivers side about 1/4 inch when I did the 4 link. It is still over a tad but the tires tuck fine so it's not worth cutting my 4 link tabs and moving it for less that 1/8 inch. Here are some pics of the progress so far. The tires I have on there are 205/55/16's and they tuck with no problem so I should be able to run an 18 with a 215/40/18 tire so I have alittle meat on the rim to ride on. My buddy has some 18's on his civic with 215/35/18 tires and the tire is 8 inches wide where mine on there now is almost 9 because of the sidewall. I'm probably going to pick up some navi's next year since they are cheap and I like the way they look.
