    GEN I Tundra
    Hi guys, new here!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxo8Tb7KMWg

    Beginning the design and fabrication process for an Australian style flatbed and canopy, it will live on a 2000 Access Cab with 200+ miles on it. I'm designing a very light duty frame construction and plan to produce a few videos under 60 seconds along the way. In my case my platform is a first gen, but the concept applies across the board for any truck.

    Hopefully it will help others tackle their own builds, I'm inspired by people who put their mind and hands to work. They're not going to be "how-to" videos, just something to leave a trail behind for those of you who are interested in fabricating your own.

    Thanks!
