And so is my LUV. Interior is complete, and I can finally after several months drive the LUV. I only have three things left and I am done.

1. Tint windows--- Tuesday

2. Line-X bed--- Wednesday

3. New dash-- Not soon enough, but it is on the way.

Forgot I need to clean up the bumpers, so make it 4 things

I dont see a roll cage going into the bed so did you narrow your stock frame rails?

The rear frame is 17 inches from outside of the rails. I bought aftermarket rails so I could have travel for the ladder bars. I do not have a cage, the wife knows I would race it with one so she does not want one in there. I used to race sprint cars and motorcycles and have many scars to prove it, she really wants me to take a break from driving race cars for a while, so I agreed. To answer the question of how did I narrow the rails without a cage, I used .250 wall metal in the rear and did some triangled supports from the stock frame to the new rails. The rear bumper is a stock peice, they are just alittle hard to find as most of the LUVS came with no bumper or a step bumper. They are around so if you find one do not wait to buy it, grab it as quick as you can.
