Don't recall any MyST member named "Tacky Trac". :banghead:
 
Not my personal style, but it does look pretty rugged and would fit welll with the off-road look vehicle. I also like the gas cap with matching tailgate latch handle and the little locking utility compartment behind the rear wheel well. :grin:

While it does look like the bed came from that Red Bull truck, I'm thinking that truck must've gotten wrecked and someone salvaged the bed for themselves. The truck at the top has different wheels and also has the factory pinstripe on the doors, whereas the Red Bull truck pictured does not.
 
I agree with Mark K....I think it is an old Red Bull promotional truck. I suspect this guy got hold of one...I'm sure those Red Bull graphics on the Red Bull truck are just a vinyl wrap and easily peeled off.

Why, because this guy is cheap and works as a fabricator in an aluminum shop with an ample supply of diamond plate and bending, cutting tools, and his original box got damaged...cheap fix.

Agree with Richard L. Same applies to the "genuine vinyl" diamond plate. Doubt anyone would custom form the real stuff.

Steve,

The rear diamond plate is not a vinyl wrap....that is actually formed metal. If you look closely you will see that the contours of the fenders and wheel well flares have been removed.



It would be a lot easier and cheaper to re-skin the rear fenders with aluminum diamond plate and get a cleaner look than using conventional painted metal body panels. Diamond plate is much more forgiving of minor imperfections than painted body work and also adds to that Rugged Look.
