nice video!!!!!!

haha i thought it was pretty funny myself. Im not used to having to drive at such high pressures, this bed weighs a freakin ton. When i was cruising around in that video barely hovering over the ground I had the front at about 65psi and the back at 50psi approximatly.

that bed looks like glass, great work. worth the wait! awesome truck mane

i think when i met you at the condo i took some under the bed shots. i'll see if i can get them up tonight.

any pics of the latching mechanism?

kevdog · 06-10-2008, 07:18 PM

Dammit!! Now I want a dump bed!!

The bed is freakin' awesome!! One question though, is the switch for your dump bed incorporated with your switch box or is it a separate stand alone switch?

Cool, I just thought it'd be wicked if he were rollin' down the street hittin' switches and then accidentally hit the one for the dump bed. He'd be draggin' plastic while ridin' the bed vertical. lol

Dr. Pepper · 06-10-2008, 10:00 PM

looks awesome man. glad to see it made it out of the shop in time.

and i've been back to that dunes thing lots of times turning around or meeting people.

now all we gotta do is some find you some less gay seats that are more comfy.

xtucking22s · 06-10-2008, 10:07 PM

Nice videos John.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

optikal · 06-10-2008, 11:48 PM

lowdime96 · 06-11-2008, 12:54 AM

Merritj2417 · 06-11-2008, 02:07 AM

the painted dumpbed looks badass man, and your truck is one of the very few that i'd say leave the kit on, nice truck

genx-treme · 06-11-2008, 09:43 AM

Is it just me or does the back of the bed seem to lift a smidge a second before the front comes up on the bed. I bet those hinges are getting stressed to the max.

Adam, you have pics of the hinges and where you got them?

And, how are you controlling the lift on them. The bed should come down slower to keep from bounding off the frame. Like a 1/4" valve with it reduced even more. What valve are you using Adam? I have a 1/4" SMC valve you can have if you want it.

Also, how is the bed being secured once its down?

This is correct about the movement, but the hinges are fine, it is the crossmember on the bed that moves a hair and allows for that little bit of movement. Its fine though, although John might look into it a little more about adding a little extra bracing, however after watching it closely this weekend it appears everything is structurally sound.

Adam, you have pics of the hinges and where you got them?
They were posted in the project thread somewhere around the august timeline, but its 4 Ball bearing Home depot commercial grade door hinges. I can assure you the hinges are not a problem thoough, they work like a charm and are solid as a rock.

It is a single 1/4" valve with 1/4" line. Once I have the truck back I might slow it down a little bit, but its a pretty good speed right now, I like it, however might slow it down just a tad.
