Tube Bed

Well I decided to loose some weight and build a new tube bed.

Me and my jeep buddy Joe have been working out of his garage off and on for two weeks making sliders and the base for the bed, today we started bending tube.......

Going to be boat sided kind of like marks (new double cab with tube bed) from seto. Its going to have expanded metal flooring and sheet metal "fenders" and jeep style trailer lights.

2x2 base



Main hoop




Main support
