^ I'm pretty sure they cut the whole thing out along with the rest of the rear spare tire area on both sides.

Yes it is all cut out... probably a good 20 lbs of metal being removed there even after putting in the replacment panel.

Madman did you happen to weigh what you cut off?

Everything we cut off has been weighed. You remember me stating "Attention to detail". Well it pays off.

Absolutely, I remember 100%

Everything counts, quality has to be built into everything not an afterthought, and every little bit helps, I know this all too well.

The completed roller will be around $55,000.00. The new Burkhart chromoly rear is on the way. And all the front suspension should be installed soon.
