There are billboards up saying in Kali we pay and average of $1.08 more per gallon than the countries average.

All those stupid social programs and handouts come at a cost...

Not to mentioned Gavin Newsome signed a law into effect that allows the judges to recognize MAP, Minor Attracted Persons as a sexual orientation for adults who have sex with kids as long as they are 14 years old and the sex is “consensual”.

Can't even keep up with em anymore. Was a bill, not fiat but still bad.

Wow, this is dragging out, but finally got it done today.

Replaced the broken cable with a bike chain. Welded to pin, uses a master on the lever.

All the metal around the edge is new, made it a bit hefty! Now the wood is supported by the angle iron. Got it all painted up.

Frame was just over 48 wide, lets ply sheets lay in there just right. However the new deck was about 1/16+ wide and would not go in without major effort. Broke out the planer and made adjustments. Also beveled the edges to clear the angle iron corners. Went on fine then and I got all new SS hardware to fasten down.

Also had to trim the slot for the pin as the assm ended up about 1/4 longer with the new rim..

Got it mounted up, then realized I forgot the handles

Still thinking on how to attach the carpet on the edges. End will get a metal plate with grip tape to protect the wood.

Looks handy for someone having a topper. Good work.

Soon the spare will go under the back too. Have to push the rear bumper back a tad for it since I have a 6' box.

I like that, good work!

Just need to glue the carpet down now, but that will wait until after this weekend trip.

Rubber backed outdoor carpet, two grab handles (3/8 rebar) and nice piece of trim on the rear cap. Paint wasnt even dry and I scrapped it all up. Fits great so just a few crews will hold it solid.

Yea, for sure liking this!

Loaded it up this weekend and headed to the ridge. Was sitting at 19.7mpg when I got home, 65-70 average.

Slide performed perfect, just a tad snug on the tailgate is all, but a few screws should remedy that.

Thinking about getting the edge trim powder coated? Tuff but on there really good!

Thx guys, its functional, but I am slowing down some.

BedSlide is working awesome, still worth every penny after 2 rebuilds.

Think I found the parasitic draw on the battery. You could here the CD player running after the truck was shut off. Removed the CDs, now it seems good but time will tell. Maybe I should clean some grounds since most have not been touched in 17 years now.
