Got the 4 pointers on... love them. Thanks Phil!!

Oh and my rear tank started leaking the other day. Lines are bone dry but the skidplate is soaked... time for a 33 gallon bronco tank ;)

Here's where we got to today. Gotta decide what I want across the top half. I have extruded steel but don't really like it. Might do bars across like on back racks that go across on top of factory beds so protect the back window. Input welcome

I'm happy so far. Might lower it a hair so the bottom of the horizontal tubing up top is under the roof line an inch. Right now the whole bottom of the 2inch side is in line with the cabs top height... all other pieces are in line with the body. 1inch inside it and one inch sticking outside.

I understand the bed being level but it doesn't look right. Put a level on a body line, jack the front of truck up until that body line is level, then put that level on the bed... Adjust it till it's the same. Just because it's level... It's still not correct by appearance.

Looks Pretty Good, Kid. I'd Put The Top Of It Even With Top Of The Cab And Put 1X1 Square Tube In Horizontally To Protect Back Glass If It Was Mine.

If your going to do something to protect the back glass you may want to make it removable in-case you have to replace your back glass. Unlikely I know but if something inside the cab were to break it, it would be a real pain to remove the whole bed (assuming you welded the rack cause I'm too lazy to read) to get to it.

Should be bolted down like a normal bed and lift right off... especially with a dad with lots of fun toys laying around to assist.
