Redoing LWB floor :)
Well as some of you guys know my floor is shot! Ive been searching for a decent LWB for awhile now and cant find any within a reasonable distance worth while so... Ive decided to scrape the factory floor/sills and build a custom floor and also box the sides in (if that makes sense).Im using 2x3" 14ga box tubing for the sills, 1x1 14ga for bracing and when i finally do the floor it will be 16ga sheet. I plan to widen the factory tubs 6" also. Anyways here are some before and some current pics..

Re: Redoing LWB floor :)
Your welcome, I just thought that I would show the option, because not a lot of guys know about them. Either way I think it would be great.

Re: Redoing LWB floor :)
![]() I also thought about buying replacement bed sills but at 40bucks a pop plus other issues.. its not worth it to me. comes out way cheaper and stronger with the 2x3 & 1x1 tubing. i spent $245 for 48' of 2x3" 14ga & 24' of 1x1" 14ga tubing. of course ill have extra ![]() ![]()
