Nice job on the tubs. Did you have to get extra tubs for your filler piece? When I did mine I used scrap that I cut out of my inner bed sides when I raised the floor. I still need to finish welding my tubs, it's been over a year!

That's super clever I hadn't even considered that! I did buy two tubs for each side... I wish they still made CHUB TUBz in the stock wheel width

Nice clamp usage! Those pieces aren’t going anywhere

New tailgate fits alright! Working on the bed floor, rear tubs, and tailgate filler panel.

How did it line up with the bed sides? I need a tailgate, not sure if I want to go the LMC cheaper route or pony up and buy an OG old metal tailgate.

I can't complain with this one from LMC. I used the stock hinges and handle with it to make it feel more "solid" like the original

Trying something different with the tailgate filler panel. This is an inner tailgate skin. It's gonna take a fair amount of fit and finish back here, along with installing the emergency shrader valves and remote battery posts.

Is that panel left over from the original tailgate? If so great re-use of material.

It's a new piece, I had it for a long time actually thinking I was gonna salvage the old tailgate.

I might trim off the dented part near the bottom or tack some new sheet metal right there.
