Did you buy Scottie's bed?

No. His bed was nice but a little more than what I wanted and i believe it was a heavy SOB.
Plus, this one was a little less expensive.

Here is the current state of the bed.





And what it looked like before the rig got parted out

Probably an internal bar mounted to it for a harness mount

Yep sandwiched plate for harness bar. That may get cut off.

The tool box and fuel cell comes with it as well :)

Looks like an RCI. Might be the same one I'm using

It's a 16 gallon RCI.

Artec makes nice stuff,using them for all my link parts and truss's. With a little tube work that bed will be killer,just needs a cooler mount !

I was checking that out last night. Plumbing the fuel cell might be a ways off.

Swung by and got the bed cut off, tool box removed and fuel cell pulled.

Started cleaning up the tool box and fuel cell. Tool box had some rust starting on the lid and had a few dings here and there. It works fine and even locks. Fuel just needed a little brushing off and had a sweet sticker on it.






Hopefully I can go get the bed picked up tomorrow to start working on cleaning it up.

Get some metal and let's add to that bad boy. Did you take note of how he had fuels lines plum,plenty of options from adapters to having lines made . Also does it have correct sending unit for fuel gauge ?

I plan on adding a secondary bar or 2 after I get it put on. Fuel cell has the GM sender in it which isn't the right set up for a yota. Top 3 fitting are -8 and are feed return and vent. Cell came with 2 Airtex S2000 external fuel pumps as well.

I was thinking raise tool box up and place cell under it with a filler neck extension. Not sure how to approach the side wing thing ,but take hoop down to sliders for more cab corner protectio

What are the dealios on top of the tool box? With the blue tap.

If you need any input on that fuel cell its the same one I am using. I initially bought a high dollar fuel pump from summit and the fucking thing lasted one trip. Ended up making a run into town and picking up the same pump you got. Works great. Only thing is like you said, fuel level sending unit is not the right ohm values so its off. I just use a flashlight and check it. But on a DD that might be a bit bothersome.

Oh and that sure is damn clean Swamper in the bottom pic lol
