Baby steps today...

Once I raised the bed floor, the wheel tubs would not sit flush against the inner bedsides since they are 3" above the stock cutout. There is a lip on the tubs that keeps them from fitting all the way to the bed.

After removing the tubs (what a pain, these fasteners rust quickly), I proceeded to remove the offending metal with my trusty angle grinder/cutoff wheel.
