other than the multiple rollpans that have been ripped off the bed looks decent. i think mines more beat than yours. it it werent for teh rhino liner, i could poke my finger through one bed rail.

still got alot of work to do. the side metal goes in behind the bed lip instead of going flush with it. fenders arent welded in yet. still gotta figure out what i want to do in front of the fenderwells at the front of the bed. looks too plain and smooth. thinking bout adding some more bed ridges from the other floor to this one. and also dont know if im gonna keep the gas door the way it is in the floor. sooo.....whatcha think?

I love it Mikey. I lke the idea of the extra ridges added in front of the wheel well. Also, it might look more factory if you terminated the ridges around your gas door and added a flat door. Where did you get the wheel wells?

love the black , goes well with the rims

Damn rick its spooky I was thinking bout the same thing! Maybe using a square body s10 blazer or fox body mustang gas door and starting and stopping the ridges at it using parts of the other floor. Great minds think alike right? Lol I got the fenderwells from tractor supply. They call them jeep style
badchicn (rick)   +1y
Yup great minds. Those jeep style fenders are a good deal too. $20 a piece. I have been thinking of re-doing the Howler. Maybe these are just the ticket. I still want an old style wood bed floor to go around the tubs.

thiose tubs are awesome

The $20 are small like the ones on a lawn mower trailer. I've got the larger $30 ones.

those would be really different up front
