[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 324748, member: 7544"] I did the same thing with my trailer and my brothers trailer, except I didn't install a middle runner. For attaching the runners, I welded steel tabs to the trailers cross members at each location that I wanted to bolt the runners down. Then I drilled a hole in the tab to install the bolts through. This whole thing with the tabs wasn't absolutely necessary but it did make installing the nuts/washers on the bottom side of the carriage bolts a lot easier then trying to do it up inside the frames cross members and it didn't weaken the cross members from having holes drilled in them. The tabs look something like this. [ATTACH type="full" alt="BunkTabs.jpg"]55693._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
