......Let's see the proof and the light patina of rust on that purdy frame in your thread! June is comin' up on 1/2 way done!

Wanna wager?

I'd say I get my rear winch plumbed in and runnin' before you fire up that big cam Cummins in your stretch!
I don't remember Norm specifying which June, ......in his defense.
Ahhh, Good point!

LoL.... if you can't get a rear winch set up before I restore a entire truck.... And yeah it's June, the big guy upstairs has decided Nebraska is the new rain forest. So adjustment to lake front property and all that, has considerably slowed our progress. Add to that it's warm and my wife wear daisy duke shorts, that also slows progress. Then I also keep getting sidetracked by the bass boat LoL  I have more excuses, but I am sure you've all heard them before LoL

But now since you've decided to challenge me I will take some pictures of something or another just to say I did something LoL

OK, popcorn eating knuckleheads and other business aside, let's see something getting built!

Still melting in some metal on the back end of the truck. Objective: Get the new Superwinch 9500 tigershark winch properly stored and out of the way! Also get that spare tire and all those water jugs stored as well.

I can just see the floor opening up. Not enough to to shoot hoops like in Duane's garage, but close!

So you'll remember I stubbed out the bumper mounts. Here, I added some 3" angle to it to lower things a tad

Same as with the front design, there will be some protrusion and some "Wedging"

Here the plate is prepared for bending by cutting a lot of it away at the bend axis

With two "Wings" welded onto the bent main panel, here is how I envision it wrapping around the winch. I like to cradle all that pulling and twisting with a lot of boxing to spread out the load and resist warping

Now, if you look at the bottom of the tailgate, that is about where the tail folds down to, so I'll keep everything clear of that about 3/4" or so. I tested opening it with the winch installed, and the tailgate is maybe the thickness of a dollar bill from the tailgate!

Whoa, that's some seriously good eyeballing and measuring!

Here's where we go vertical. These angle plates rise up to where the top of the bumper will sit

Ya know Darren, I am thinking of canning the tailgate and lift gate, building a lunar orbiter lookin' back end with a door. I need a place to mount a heater/AC unit and hang a hard cover first aid kit off of. Maybe put in a gun port so I can shoot nosy raccoons that come in around midnight down at the farm.

If the gate is gone this is a great idea!

how about both? say a tailgate that looks and drops down normal has a set of rails that line up with a corresponding pair in the bed. slide out the heater unit and or your gun torrent with a shield.

I haven't decided, but this isn't a tail gate sort of truck.

I designed it to go it alone, to be an emergency sleeper if need be, and serve as a storage place for all manner of stuff, and sport a fold down bed, albeit a small one.

The Camper/trailer compliments it and gets you a lot more comfortable but should that get compromised you can dump it and go. Or if I do the base camp scenario, the camper is just that, the truck could then be used to reach out, or the bike if I ever figure out how to fit it on this assemblage.

Anyway without the tailgate I could push things a couple more inches aft and make some more room

I like the camper/base station idea of the trailer and a composite type tailgate.

I was going to say the bumper and tailgate will not like each other, but the above covers that!!

I think you should build your own topper/enclosure. You can then add in insulation, proper ventilation...possibly with the ability to be sealed against tear gas attack. Then.... a remote RC 4x4 capable of being yr eyes and doing mine sweeps. Then......... I figure the above will keep him busy tell I get mine done LoL

But whole topper, already have one and it's good enough

I didn't mean to cause any real problems....I had no idea there was a previous attempt at a tac topper tried. I was just thinking some aluminum square tube, a spool gun, some aluminum sheet like they use on an enclosed trailer and a some creative design work and then presto... a custom built enclosure that says "look I am ready for this" Gun ports disguised as fuel tank filler doors in the bed.... all sorts of cool custom touches. Dons correct, don't take me seriously LoL

Are you going to have a bolt on hitch receiver or will it be built into the bumper?

Built in, in fact that is what you will be reading about tonight.

I lost my train of thought. That horrible tac-topper pic has me shaken up.

Tried to forget about that one... And yes there was a second one, a side flipper. That one was nicer but started to get heavy so I just canned it and purchased the factory built aluminum topper that rides on there to this day.

Good thing is I learned a ton on those two failed projects. I will be doing things a bit differently if I do the lunar lander back end on Square D

So getting back to the PAH (Project at hand) I was about to close in some of the open areas and do some more triangulating when I stopped last night

Lets start there:
