Well that was another 3 hours logged on his thread. I like his method a LOT. At this point I'm on the fence as to whether or not to raise the bed floor. Up til now I would have said no because I fully intend to use my truck as a truck, and I assumed the raised floor was a deal breaker...but.... The way Chris handled it is very tempting! Have you seen any custom hinges out there that would allow the tailgate to be flush when opened? If that's possible I'm all in.
