Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jinxd12" data-source="post: 513626" data-attributes="member: 25542">A couple updates. Had to wait a few extra days for carpet to arrive which slowed down my processes.I trimmed a little bit of the insulation to be able to fit a drill between the bottom foam. I used a unibit to drill out the drain holes to 3/4" rather than the 1/4" or whatever they were. This will help tremendously with drainage in the future.I carpeted the new front under deck storage wood, then added a little bit of metal angle framing. Since I'm going 1/2" plywood wanted to make sure it wouldn't flex. Also had to chop down the front stock bracing to be able to fit the recessed foot pedal box. Adding some bracing in there really added some strength.I spent some time trying to get the carpet about as perfect as possible along the side panel, that was a nightmare process. I used DAP Weldwood cement and needed to pull a few sections back to really get it to stick at the panel angles. To get the carpet not to bow out at the top u just added some small rivets every 12" inches horizontally, and every 6" vertically.Most of the side panel will be hidden by added deck, and the steering console, so didn't want there to be reason to have to pull it later from a rushed install.Next I carpeted the floor section that will have the extended deck framing on it. That's about as far as I got over the weekend.I did mess with some of the rear battery compartment tray/and framing cleanup but no pictures. I also had a guy at work bend me up a few rear compartment bins from sheet metal. They are not aluminum, but I'll paint them and carpet around them to provide a small gap for dissimilar metals.Pictures in the next update!</blockquote>
