Between yesterday and today I pulled off each bed side one at a time and cut them for the wheel tubs I need. I definitely used the old adage of measure 100 times and cut once!! I really did not want to mess up on brand bed sides. But it needed to be done.








With the passenger side done and reinstalled I yanked the driver side off and did the same. The big difference here was I made a template off of the first one with good reference points and it made for a much quicker job.






And now with both sides back on.....







Lastly I installed the gate and just clamped the rolled pan on. It also gives you a good reference for how the new hinges blend in, especially once painted. The rolled pan is hanging somewhat as I did not screw it to the rear cross member, so it is making a bigger gap to the tailgate than it should.
