Administrator N4W Card Holder  Arrr.. Me good eye! Ultimate N4Wheeler  |
one easy way to gain strength with thin sheetmetal flooring is to weld thinwaall angle iron to the bottom of the sheetmetal every 4-5". This lightens the sheetmetal tremendously but also adds a ridiculous amount of strength.

Rolling some beads in the sheetmetal would add a lot of strength too.

I plan on using 1/8" plating for the bed floor, and fenders. For the sides of the new "bed," I have 14ga sheet metal left over from an old project, and I have access to a bead roller.

Not a model 4. Robert used it to make his cage. It should be just fine.

It'll look cool no matter what the weight. 84lbs extra would be worth it for the departure angle. same as 12 gal. of gas.
