Bobbed the bed this weekend

[Brandon]

Corndog and I bobbed the bed on my taco. I'm gonna pull a Dave here and only post up a camera phone pic. I have pics from a camera but I still need to d/l them on the comp and u/l them on the net. The people that I'm stealing internet from don't have a very good signal so I'll do that at school later.

Looks decent from the pic.

[M@]

Does that mean you shortened it? (That's what it looks like..)

[Brandon]

yup, about 13"

[nxbrennan]

+1 for bobbed beds. M@: yes.

[Dave_L]

Should have just bought a jeep...no need to cut 13" off. :D

[Brian]

Does that just help with the center of gravity?

pift, coming from the person that just cut up their tub

no, it improved the departure angle. Now i don't have so much hanging off the back to get caught up on rocks. When you go up something steep the back drags on the ground.

[Brian]

That would have been my second guess. Looks good :)

Better pics as promised:

What is "bobbed"?

[Conrad]

someone didnt read the posts up top... lol


Shortens the bed past the rear wheels to improve departure angle from obstacles..

[Mark_H]

Stupid question...what are you going to do with the frame thats sticking out?

[smithz]

He's going to scrape it off on some rocks... :D

[Conrad]

The part that sticks out is where his bumper attaches.

[Brandon]

Yea, the bumper should sit right there and make the frame not as noticable.
