im moving all my batteries behind the axle on my ranger to clean the bed up.. however its a heck of alot of weight back there so im thinking if i plate the frame from the cab back it should be fine. anyone else done this?
my question is what guage material do you guys use when boxing in a c channel frame? 1/8"?......... 3/16"?

1/8 should be fine

ide say 1/8 too

i'd say 1/8 here too

cool! hopefully pickin up the steel tomorrow.. im thinkin boxing the frame will make it strong enough to hold all that weight of the 4 batts and the fuel cell

Thanks again !

PROBABLY EASIER TO BACKHALF IT WITH HEAVIER BOX STEEL OR BUILD A FRAME FROM THE FIREWALL BACK.

i was thinking of balkhaving it but at this moment i think ill go the boxing of the frame route..

Thanks everyone

1/8th, and make templates out of cardboard

yeah id use 1in thick should be good.

yea 1/8 in would be a hella lot easier to cut.
