Give a guy a day off work, a grinder, sawzall, and a few fresh blades, and you know some sheet metal will have to be removed.
It all started innocently enough. I have noiticed recently that my roll cage was getting a little misaligned, and showing signs of fatigue at the mounts.
My floor boards in many areas were also showing signs of stress at many joints, and were sagging onto the drive train in some locations.
My door openings have been getting so banged up that the sledge hammer is barely able to micro adjust them to fit anymore.
So I decided to beef up the cage mounts, run some more braces, reinforce the door pillars with tubing and plate steel, run some floor braces from tubing and beef up the body mount locations.
The added benefit of running the tubing which now supports the bottom of the door, was that it made sense to run the body support tubes diagnaly from the door to the new body mount runner.
I hope to have it complete next weekend
