Here is the
drawing of the frame and tub. It's not to scale, so don't take anything
that's unmarked literally. ie. I just noticed I've got the forward most
mount lined up with where the tub curves in. I'm pretty sure they don't
line up.
The 13 5/8"
measurement seemed to be the most consistent. It actually varied by about
1/4" depending where you measured it. I didn't realize my rockers were so
wavy. All of the fore and aft measurements were taken from the part of the
tub where the floor steps up as shown below.
How far up do
the sliders go? Do they tie in to the front fenders at all? I think I'd
prefer it if they did, but I have two issues on the driver's side. I still
have the through the floor pedals, so I'm going to need a cutout for that.
I marked it on the drawing, but after thinking about it, I can probably cut
that out later. For that matter, I could drill the body mount holes as
well. The other thing is I have a remote mounted oil filter that lives next
to the clutch pedal as shown.
I would like
the slider to protect it, but it would be really nice if there was an easily
removable hatch that I could take off when I need to get to it. How tough
would that be to do? I suppose I could also get to it by taking off the
fender. Maybe that would be better. What do you think? Here's another
view of it.
The pass side
is pretty straight forward. Nothing hangs down there. Is there anything
else you need? Are there any other pictures you need for your website? I'd
be happy to take any views you need. I could also bring the Jeep up to
Cheyenne when I come up. Would that make it easier? I'd like to bend your
ear a bit about how to go about replacing the floor. Also, do you have any
pictures of the sliders? These are like the ones I saw when I visited you
right? I'm curious how they go around the step. Do you have any pictures
of that?
Well, that's
all for now, if you need anything else, just PM or email me. Talk to you
later.
