P1000 Stauvo's Lay Flat Tailgate Brackets

[Stauvo]

Here is my weekend project. Took awhile as I am metalurgically retarded and have limited tools. I have wanted to do this since I got my machine when decided to stay with my stock cables. Now my coolers will lay flat and a bed extension plan can be played with.
Thank you all for ideas and inspiration.

Looks good. Great job on that!

Outstanding job!! I had metal and tools just too lazy lol. I'm with you about those cables. The longer ones from eBay are considerably smaller than stock. They made me nervous (but never hinted at breaking).

Lol! I understand the procrastination. I had to wait and do it during a heat wave too. I used 1/8th steel and was a bugger to bend and still look good. I have new interest in working on a bed extension now that it's laying flat.
