the 2x8 in the middle is there to straighten out the boards (which it did) since they were so badly bowed..held in with 4 6" screws. i just have to put one more piece of flat iron over the back to hold the board down back there but she's done>>>>WHOO HOO!! might weigh 900 if lucky cause i can still lift one corner almost (almost) 1" off the ground so can't be over a thousand for sure. dropped a lot of weight not putting the other 4 2x10s on it so that helped a lot with weight too.
any tips on anything that "should" be done besides brakes..those are coming soon hopefully as soon as i get the 140 for all 4 but for now i think its ready to go!!! gonna take the jeep to local trial with it next weekend so i'm exited for that trip test.
