2 days. Air tools were a must.
So today I got most of the sill installed. I used some scrap square 2" tube. I cut a section of it out and rotated it to invert it for the channel and welded back in. Then cut a few sway bar link bushings down and drilled a couple holes in the bottom of the tube and a big 2" hole in the back so I had access to the mount. Also coated the inside and outside with Rust bullets. Plan on getting a couple 2" frame plugs to cover the holes and seal it from water and mud. I'll also be capping the ends.
I tacked it in and then realized there was going to be a gap between the sill and the bed. So I put a section of agle iron under it to tie it and the sill in place.
Then welded all of it together in several spots. I'm going to spay the area again with rust bullets.
I had a friend come over today (John Lee) and help. I mentioned that I was going to make these great fenders only to have them ruined the first time I articulated the rears as the tires rub on the outer fender under extremem articulation. He suggested I tube the fenders. So that's what I'm going to do. lol. Will give me a fender flare in the process and give the ture something nice and smooth to rub on.
Anyone need a nice extended fender? lol
My buddy.
Some parts John blasted for me today.
