Ok pulled the deck yesterday, started the basic subframe of deck today...on a break now so here is whats up so far
I measured on the frame about 22" back from the back of cab as that is about the distance the SC will be and where it will be located.
Just before the spring hanger on the PASSENGERS side. This is where it will end or there bouts...
Here is a cross member and I'll likely be grinding out the centre rivet to provide a bolt hole to which I can bolt the deck subframe to this is JUST rear of where the SC would end and leave enough room to add in a nice headache rack/roll over hoop! This same rivet I point to can be seen in the above image as well.
I made this little tool to scribe the frame shape over onto the wood beams used for subframe of deck
Scribed along the wood to make a mark to follow with sawzall
Sawed into the wood making relief cuts for the saw to cut nicely along the wood
So that's where I stopped, I've scribed both sides, started cutting the contour on one side and needed a rest. I'll get these two rails done today...then I can work on fastening them down where needed. Leaving a spot that will work to CUT when I go and get the SC ready to install...
Thanks for looking
