Well unfertunately I can't post any pics , but I am about done with my tire carrier bumper and have decided to do a bed bob before it goes on the rig. So who has a link to pics or a writeup on bed bobing?

basically, just cut it off on a straight line. cut another line a bit further forward and then weld on the first cut off piece.

Its not too hard other than the sheetmetal welding.

Look up my screen name on AC's boards in the how-to section. It's a couple years old so most of the pictures are gone but the write-up is still there.....hopefully.

Cool man thanks for the link. I knew someone here had the writeup cause I remember reading about it several years ago.

HERE is the link to the post on AC. I could really use the pics for more detail.

I'd love to post them but they were in my MSN groups folder that I couldn't maintain while overseas so it expired. All the originals were lost in a computer crash.

I did a quick search on google images and came up with this. http://www.off-road.com/toyota/tech/bedbob/ almost word for word Matt's post. This Toy pics though.

Verbatum? Funny thing I noticed was the Yota has single wall bed construction so using a jig saw works easy. We have double wall beds and I am guessing you either cut inside and outside at different times, or you use a long sawzall blade and whack it off all at once.

If you tape everything off, and follow the tape lines, you can use a short blade and cut the outside of the bed first, then move to the inside. Inside/outside of bed needs to be clean, so the tape will stick (narrow electrical tape works, cause it bends, and won't mar paint). Grinding the welds, you'll get cleaner results, and retain a strong weld with a smaller pneumatic air grinder.

1hardbody did his on his old nissan pm him. i obught the truck from him and his lines are real good. cant even tell it is cut.
