Re: PO has me PO'd

OK, so went back through your thread and I'm sure it's there somewhere, but your wood bed, it's built on top of pickup wood bed cross rails? It's one of those things that I consider from time to time, plan A is to line the bed (and make side panels) out of recycled HDPE sheet, you know the plastic lumber they make park benches out of, anyway you can get it in colored sheets, I'd do black, it's UV resistant and pretty indestructable. Plan B is to do a wood bed, probably Ipe, it's also tough stuff, but heavy, but I'd probably do it thin and over the steel bed if I did it. In either case I plan on using flanged aircraft track instead of the "official" strips, and use that for mounting bike chocks, back seat, etc... If I was to do the wood I may carry it over into the cab, glove door, door panels etc, give it a little English sports car flavor.
