i kinda went overkill on mine. i wanted to box the whole thing since i plan on towing and making this truck work, or who knows, maybe truck pulls... But boxing just the front from around the spring hangers forward is probably plenty. adds a good bit of structure it the high stress areas of the engine mount, suspension mounts and the steering mount areas.

my best tool is blue also, and to big to fit in my toolbox. mine says miller on the side!
