Looking hot so far... the more I see pictures, the more I want to cut my truck like this... but don't think I could do it unless I got help.

I did mine all by myself. The only help I had was someone holding the hatch up while I took the pins out so it didnt fall down on me. Oh and removing the cut top. But everything else was on my own. Now, Im just waiting on a guy to cap everything off.

Heres what it looks like with the seats folded down. Ive gotta find a place to tuck my jump bag you see sitting there. Id hate to lose it while going down the highway. That bag cost me over $200!

still looking good.

yeah cargo would be an issue for me too.
i always carry a tool box, jack and some gear.
one thing i thought of with the spare gone from underneath was a lock box built into the cargo floor...with that tire gone you can gain some decent space.

You know, I never thought about that! I had a 03 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the spare tire was mounted under the floor. Like you lifted the floor bottom to get it out. When I got my roof rack mounted up top, I mounted the spare tire up there and used the empty space for storing things.

Lookin' good!

Cargo would be an issue for me to, I have a spare tire, crate, and a number of other things. Of course, I want a tire carrier on the rear so that wouldn't be an issue. You could always get a cargo net

did mine all by myself. The only help I had was someone holding the hatch up while I took the pins out so it didnt fall down on me. Oh and removing the cut top. But everything else was on my own. Now, Im just waiting on a guy to cap everything off.
I'd need help with the wiring, removing the carpet on the roof, and a number of other things. I'm such a noob, lol

All I did was unscrew the rear coat hangers and then took a box cutter across the headliner and it came right off. All you have to do with the wiring is take it off the clips and let it drop down and tuck it under the carpet. Took me 5 mins for all of that
