While researching bobbed beds I came across the video of motobilt whacking the hell out of their bed and it not denting. And since im still going to wheel I figured something that would hold up better offroad was the better choice than risking denting a custom short bed, I doubt insurance would pony up for that repair.

That totally makes sense. I wasn't thinking about it that way.
Plus side is you could either sell the old one or male a small trailer out of it. Trailer probably isn't on your agenda since you already have the M1101.

With his own fab skills he could offset some of the cost though. Those things sell like hotcakes.

Well after about 11 hours today we got most of it done. Called it quits before we started making tired mistakes. Gonna get it all finished and finishing touches and do suspension work on it tomorrow.
