May God have mercy on my soul if I were to slip and catch a shin on one of those edges. Looks good. I tend to steer away from the blocky square look of things on a nicely flowing body line like our trucks. I would envision something with a bit more rounded edges (maybe a small diameter split tubed edge?), rolled around the side and bottom.. I dunno. Good work though. I know fabricating can be a pain. But it's fun. Just wish I had the room.

yeah it was a pain and im not a big fan of round edges i was going to do something like MmmBuckles but decided not to but i have rounded all sharp edges and since i suck at cutting with a torch i had someone do that for me so it helped alot

Gotcha. How did the ends turn out? Any pics from the side? How was the bottom finished, anything under there or just the top pad

Nvrmnd, I see theres something on the bottom, not sure what it is? In your first few pics with the top pad done, what is that underneath?
And how do you plan on accessing your tire drop down thingy mabober? Or you don't carry a spare underneath? Or you just going to drill the hole later? Along with the license plate lights.
