Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
 The drivers side went back together pretty smooth.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
 The passenger side was a *****. We had to twist it and use the jack and jack stands with a ratchet strap to pull it together. Weld here weld there and then it started pulling itself together. We weren't gong for pretty we were going for strength.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds)  Tony went ahead and rewelded around the C notches on both sides and we called it a day. We will clean it up and plate the outside. Once we are done with that we will get the weight distributed right and start on adding tubing over the shock mounts to tie everything. I may have to do some adjusting and shimming on the bed. All in all a for a near disaster I think it went back together pretty well.

Damn $hitty deal, but good thing you caught it before it completely broke.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Yes it sucks Monty. In the end I'm glad it happened just not the 800 mile round trip and missing a race. I was able to rearrange my schedule so we are going to start back on it at 8am this morning. Maybe we can get it finished and I can get it home I hope.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
 When I got there yesterday morning he was doing some welding. He found one or two small cracks and welded them up too. Then we had to determine bar placement in the back. There was only a 4 inch long area to use. I got them marked and cut some holes in the bed.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
I left out that I worked on the bed shimming it in the back .I think the bed gap looks as good or better than it ever has. It was never perfect because the of the way I had the cab mounted before the cage was built. If I don't like it when I get it home I can still play with it some more.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
 We sampled different angles of tubing bends with some templates. We decided on a 45 degree I kinda liked a 30 better but it would have been harder to weld at the bottom.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
 We got both bars bent and mocked up. Then had to call it a day.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
 This is turning out to be exactly what I wanted to do for awhile.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Definitely looks like those will help the effort.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
 I got it home yesterday evening. He didn't have time to help me with the floor and the tubs. I'm going to have to fix that mess myself. I've already gotten the tubs pretty straight. I need to cut up the pieces of the floor I took out and fit them around the 90 degree braces. Then clean this mess up and do some bedliner and paint the bars.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
It will be interesting to see if it reacts differently now.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
That’s kinda the same idea behind how mine is done, sample principal anyway.
