      • the guy that was gonna paint it said he was getting cameras at his shop so he couldnt do it,,,,, he now has a new paint job on his s-10 that's odd.......anyway since I built TruckStiva I figured I may as well give it a shot at painting it. so far so good. thanks got the comments the more input the better and more motivation

        • What's the line on the back where it looks like your "bed" cover is hitting the side of the car?

            that line is where the tonneau cover opens, and it goes 1 inch down to the body line to keep a tight seal ....see how it opens and there is a lip

            • Gotcha...makes it more practical I guess, but it loses that clean line. The price you pay for a little functionality!

                • Yeah, the primer isn't helping either. I'm guessing it will look much better once you get the paint on!

                  • This a great thread! I have watched this thread since the beginning. I just got through with my swap, and its been a bit since I last looked in here.

                    Great progress, and that is gonna be one sweet ride.

                    The Ranger head lights just kick! Make it look MEAN! lol

                    Keep up the good work.

                      • Any reason in particular other than styling for the spoiler thing??? i have no idea what you made the trunk lid out of but i think i'd leave that spoiler off and have that deck to mount/carry more stuff. Maybe put a spare tire there or something

                        • Spoiler makes a good tie down point for tonneau top cargo...

                            it used to have a roll/ light bar in the back but then I decided to go another route and make a Fiberglass cover and it looked to plain so I added 2 inches to my Subaru rs wing and fiber glassed it on there I defiantly like the look of it, kinda like the ram 1500's it ads to the body figure also. I t lifts up so you can store many things in the back under it , along with the fuel cell. eventually it will have linear accuators that raise it up and hold it down.

                            • Well it does certainly look fine. I'm just a cargo junkie lol. I would have kept it clean to have more space to mount larger items that won't fit under it But hey it's your money/time/effort so do it your way was just curious. Very cool build either way
