I've taken care of a few things;


- I went to the steel shop after work yesterday and picked up all of the remaining steel needed for the bed


- I've welded in all of the down turned angle for the UHMW tiedown points.


- The uprights for the CO2 tank and Fire extinguisher are on, just need to drill some holes. 


It's coming down to the wire. I leave for vacation on the 20th, so this thing has to be done. Oh, my two part epoxy paint should show up tomorrow.


Remaining to-do list:


1. Final welding on bed square tube

2. Build rail on two sides

3. Drill holes and weld in nuts for co2 tank and fire extinguisher

4. Buy UHMW

4. Drill all holes for UHMW deck and weld nuts to back side of angle

5. Mount UHMW sides (thinking panels between the square tube)

6. Finish tail light plate

7. Plate in the headache rack

8. Add reverse light brackets

9. Clean up wiring on frame, including; wire reverse lights, wire stop/turn/tail, reposition all rock lights. 

10. Find a spot for the bed 110V outlet

11. Mount the trailer 7pin outlet (overlooked that when building the bumper)

Working on the outside rails. Need to figure out what to do about the filler neck area. May just stop the rail short there instead of tieing into the headache rack. 






Here's the plan. The middle bar will be cut out on the drivers side for the fuel inlet and left on the passenger side. Thoughts?
