New
I bolted the floor supports right to the frame then tack welded a couple rods to hold it in place

Painted the inside with por-15 DTM paint

I measured from the rear riser (bumper) 51" and 67 1/2" to the center of the holes on the frame. Then since the tub is even with the riser i just transferred those measurements

In my next life im going to put one of these tubs together with panel adhesive, just because

When you are finished with this project you should go on a well deserved victory lap around the country. Forum members all over can host you. Very impressive work.
 
Floor supports are in, tomorrow the spare tire reinforcements and start working to fit the transmission tunnel

The side panel was a bit wavy probably from all the welding so out with the fiberglass......what a pain to sand

looking great - I give you all kinds of credit - not something most of us could do even if we had the where-with-all and time. Enjoying the progress pics!!
 
I decided on an aftermarket tool box, fitment wasn't too bad

I was going to pre paint inside the tool box area but remembered I had a quart of raptor bed liner left from the last project, so I taped off the flange areas for welding and sprayed that on. Not factory but I figured with the jack and some chains bouncing around in there it would hold up better.

I got the tool box welded in

Also put the gas tank in for fitment. I forgot how little leg room these things have

I need to correct this somehow. The rubber grommet will never fit
