Well I definitely believe that I just finished building the coolest fishing rig ever. Troy, from HammerHead Adventures brought us this deuce and a half and wanted the steel bed removed and replaced by an aluminum one and wanted a top deck with rod holders. There was a bit more direction given, however, he pretty much told me that I'm the fabricator and to use my artistic direction.

First we built the bed

Then put it on the truck and added the corners

From there it just went like clockwork.

The entire thing is waterproof and will be getting insulated and climate controlled (not by us). Also there are going to be bunks in the space above the cab and a shower and toilet. The top is all hinging and folds down to make it under 13'4" and can all be set up by one person in about 3 minutes.

It was a blast to build, but after 6 weeks of working on it I am glad to be done.

SICK work John. I dig the benches on top. Can just imagine sitting up there just after dark with a cold beverage waiting for the 12/0 to start screaming.
