Every single guide tube rusted right through. Cross member was holding about 5lbs of crap inside. Looks like more of the floor to replace... |

Fantastic work! I love double cabs and hope to own one someday.

They are pretty good. Only real issue with them is when I move and the castors need to spin. I only work on one side at a time so I don't move it often and I just hammer them into the right position before I move it. |

Finally finished sandblasting everything about a month ago. Doing a little bit more metal work before priming everything.

Did you convert your double cab to right hand drive or was the image flipped? Either way, great work!
Also, are you in Ontario Canada, or Ontario California???? |
