You can see how much the back end moves around. These are the rivets for the rear shackle hangers. Nice steps in them like the leaf pack bolts.
Phill stopped by to lend a hand today. We did a ton of work and accomplished what looks like very little. I guess that's how it goes. Here's what we did today.
- Removed the spare tire cross member
- Cut/burnt/beat out every rivet
- Removed the additional rivets in the side of the frame so the shackle flip kit will be easier to install later
- Test fit the "VERY HEAVY" jobox several times
- Realized the box will have to move towards the back of the truck, meaning I'm going to have to add a little more to my bumper to protect it.
- Added the new forward cross member, where the last support of the jobox will be
- Sweated
- Sweated
- Ate some pizza
All in all a very good day. Thanks again for the help Phill.
Edit: I was able to drive the truck home at the end of the day as well.
