    Passenger floor pan. The drive side was a bit worse but I did a bondoration on it about 4 years ago. I'm thinking to just cut out the bad and tack something in place. The rest of the metal is pretty dam good.

    Took some pics tonite. Got the doors off and ready for pulling off the top soon and dig in. Looking at some other threads on here it appears I have work to do but a tub replacement isn't required. Yeah some areas are bad but they are isolated.

    any creative ideas on moving a dirtbike with a 40?

    Buy a Brush bar (U Bar) that mounts to the front bumper but install it horizontally instead of vertically. Set the bike on the bar and strap it down. Works for a pit bike. I have the single trailer attachment on the back as well pictured in an earlier reply. Its all aluminum and light weight...
