are you gonna wedge cut the bed floor or are just going to cut the corners off the bed floor so they match the contour of the bed, i wish i could build my ranger how i want, did you just pop the welds o nthe front and all around it and pull it in or do you plan to actually cut the metal and move the rears in????

what I did was cut a triangle shape into the top rail and pulled it in then welded it back up. right now I am debating on even keeping the floor but it I do I will just cut the corner to match the side. I think next week I will start the other side and do my gas tank (yes I said gas not all my toys can be diesel) lift.

for the price, throw a fuel cell in the bed, lighter, easier, cheaper in the long run and a ton SAFER!!!!

I am more worried about building a cage than a fuel cell to tell you the truth but one day it will get one.
