    Converting to flat bed

    Do any of you guys have any tips or tricks to removing the side walls of the cargo box on a 825i with the rear protection package. I have removed the hardware thats is stated in the book and can get the front portion to lift but I dont seem to have room with the rear fender guard in the way to pull the back corner out.

    Due to his signature, he might have thought he wrote to his wife Sorry!

    I'd like to know about the flat bed too.

    you will have to remove the side protection tubes from the bumper because the rear side panels have two brackets that slide in under where the tail gate pivots
    thats the two screws below the tail gate the rear section of the panels slide out to the sides, you need a couple of hands to reinstall because of holding the tail gate and side at one time.

    I remember seeing a few pictures on here some time back of a member that had his sides off and was using the flat bed. Somethings work better for others. You may wanna scan through the picture threads on here.

    Perhaps it would be easier to just order a new GATOR 825i without the bed. Much like a truck, and my wife never sold/drove trucks, a CAB and Chassis is cheaper than buying with a bed! No holday cheer. Just trying to answer what I thought was a valid question. I am not sure, but MY bet is that you can order with bed deleted and then go to a decent truck shop and get a flat bed, if you desire, IMHO!!!!
