14000lb trailor with upgrades!

Also change ramp angle on fenders to be easier to drive over. Also welded expanded metal to fenders for traction in winter/ice situation! Also expanded metal in flatbed area for regular vehicles! Winch points and other chain friendly.d rings on bed! Had a idea and my bud Jason helped come up with some more cool ideas! We also boxed the frame underneath in critical areas!

Trailor fenders with expanded metal kicks azz! Can walk on fenders and not slip off! This has always a issue in wet or snow or ice situations. Now not a problem!

Yes I know what you mean! Lots of looking and measuring! But very pleased with final product! I like the clean simple look and purpose built! Glad you like!

Now that I have done this I know a better way to build center support. Might upgrade down the road?

Now ya got me wanting to go shooting.
I have found that PVC pipe works well
to transport my bows and Bamboo fly
rods. Wrapped in cloth and have a cap
for each end of the pipe. Works great.

Interior upgrades coming!

Bedliner crewcab exterior/interior! Hope to get squared away in about a week. Most prep work done, and my local bedliner shop finish up for me! Speed liner top of cab and interior floor area and more sound deadening for the cab! Really quieting down the cab hollow sound.



Crewcab before bedliner on top of cab!





Interior before Bedliner on floor area. Purpose is to help on life of floor and easy cleaning! Sound deadening is a plus!

Front are from 78 bronco and pulled btm factory brackets off. Had a different seat bracket I found and modified to fit bronco seats. Seats have been reupholstered with black cold weather vinyl. Back are from 2011 ford extended cab. Fit nice. Had to make bracket and weld tabs to floor to make work. Fuel tank is removed! Lots of little fab work to get right. Bed liner of cab interior will give it the clean look that I like! Have more details in previous posts on seats!

Thanks on liking the look! Clean and simple and easy to clean! My dogs will be riding and dog hair is a problem. Dog hair will not be much of a issue on cleaning. More to come on this crew soon!
