July brought the biggest expenses to the truck yet.

First a brand new set of 255/85r16 Falken Wildpeak mud tires. They really do fit the look I was going for. I didn't want anything too wide.

Next I started on the most ambitious project I think I've ever done. Building a flatbed from scratch.

The main channels are 3" c-channel and crossmembers are 2x2x1/4" angle. The outside edge is 3x4x1/4" angle. The best thing I did for this project was the Evolution cold cut saw.

Mid July saw the new shop come together really fast. Then I took a few weeks off to finish electrical in the new shop before they spray foamed it.

Finally the end of July I moved the truck to its new home.
