this is the fourth bed that I have done and this one was the hardest, every nut and bolt was frozen and most of the metal strips were bent and twisted

Bomp · 10-19-2014, 11:01 PM

Your garage is sooo cool.
The bed looks great too along with the new lenses.
Where did you get your instant garage?

The first one live through both hurricane Irene and Isabel. I would recommend to upgrade to the heavy ply cover.

I wasn't sure if I would like so just thought I would try and see. I have seen the old style fog lights back in the grill on a GMC that looked good.
