That looks sweet! You may not be able to fit a hi-lift in it anymore, but it looks sweet!

You can fit a 60" hi-lift between the bed rails. ;)

Good call, Im just giving them ideas, not trying to make a perfect chop. Its actually MS Paint. Nothing special.

You can fit a 60" hi-lift between the bed rails. ;)
Really? Did you take a little off the top of the jack?
'95-'04 Tacoma bed width between rails: 57.9 in
'05 Tacoma bed width between rails: 58.6 in
Pretty damn close... :dunno:
I need to figure out a better mount for my 60-in as opposed to the Loc-Rack on the inside of my bed rail.

The rails are that width, but under them there is more room.

Ahh, so you meant under between the bed rails. I see.

Crazyness.
I was actually being complementry, wasn't trying to flame or anything! You did do a great job meshing the image.
Nothing wrong with using your skills to help someone out like that!

I was wondering how hard it would be to bob that cap :D

Oh no offense at all Bear, I just didnt want anyone to think I was a pro photochopper by accident. Im actually a MS Paint Amatuer as you can pretty much tell by the chop :D :xbeer3:

Pretty damn hard using just fiberglass. You would have to use flat stock on the under side to keep things supported.

Your jack is missing the top loop. That's what I was getting stuck on.

I have the top loop rotated 90* but it fits the other direction too but it just sticks past the edge of the bed rail. I did not like how a branch sliding down the bed could catch it.

So I am sorry for posting a stupid question and I am not berating anyone who wants to shorten their bed but what is the point? Is it just to improve departure angle?

Departure angle is a lot of it.

Exactly what had me wondering.

You got it. Its not a "just" though, its a huge improvement when the trails get serious.

i was thinking about how to bob the cap for my extra cab. i can rebuild pretty much any part of a surfboard with fiberglass, how hard could it be to to patch a top back together with some cloth and resin. seems like the hardest part would be working around the window though, you would probally have to take a little bit off both ends, however i don't know if that would leave enough support for the cap, the whole thing would pretty much be a window.

Just bob it, so it measures the same as a d-cab bed, and then buy a canopy for a d-cab and put it on your truck. :D

when the trails get serious you need a flat/tubed bed :D with zero sheet metal , but bobbed beds do look slick though.

Never said it would stay pretty :D I like the look of a real bed and would keep it as long as it would last, then resort to a flat bed. :D

Not a double cab, hell-not even a Taco but it may give you another idea of what a difference bobbing the bed will make. I took 14-1/2" out of my bed and I no longer drag ass on everything on the trail ;) .
