i always wondered why do people do this? what is the point of a bed like

Hey highvan10 I’m looking at doing the exact same project in a week, on my
’94 nissan hardbody ext. cab. Any chance I could pick your brain on a few
things? Mainly I needed to know how you mounted the 4×4’s to the frame, and

don’t mind sharing. Thanks! Looks great :)

snow and still looks nice 😉

The two bottom supports are treated 4×4 and for the bed i used 9 treated
