How did Ian Johnson show up?

Ian bought my Willys wagon I was building.

Great looking Willys.

You had a thread on the Willys on pirate, right ?
I remember seeing that before but with michelins on it I think. I'm doing a 53 for my dad right now so I've read most of the "non stock" builds that are out there

Very interested to see how the crew comes together, awesome work so far

Not getting as much done as fast as I would like but I did get the bed cut loose from the bumper and welded the ends back on along with some more work to the fender well.

Over the holidays I hit up some sales, black Friday sale at DIYx4 and Christmass sale at ORD.

also got some parts for the bed.

I also found me a 203, now I need to get a doubler kit, anyone?.

I finished up welding the bed up and filling all the holes and built a frame for it.

Put it on the truck so that I can start mounting the bed to the frame.

looking at my photos I found this picture of when I was looking at beds.

And that has turned into this. a little over 700 pounds less.

Excellent. Plus I'm sure it's a lot stronger structurally too. I doubt that commercially made bed could take a hit up against a tree or rock without getting damaged.

Thanks, I plan on mounting the bed frame this weekend and get the outside corners bolted on for some more protection, then Ican startworking on my new bumper idea.

Nice parts and progress!

 

[D Rat]

I got some work done this weekend, for the first time ever I have all the body panels on and started welding the bed in place and put a little paint on to see if I like it.

Set the box in the bed to check the fit.

 

[muddysub]

God damn man, what an awesome build. The bed is turning out great.

 

[D Rat]

Got some work done on the rear bumper, what you don't see was a lot of work.

 

[andyblack]

Nice and subtle. Those are some good cuts. You must have a good plasma cutter.
