Hi,Allan.
She is at 11'7" +-.
Here is a up hill shot. Got a little un-settled and the tires are old. So I did not push it !

I understand about supporting the box.
Not trying to be a problem but 80% for the box is on a frame. And this is where the load is. I can see a light sub frame but ?
So if it was cut what would be carrying the weight / load ? In this case the walls become the carrier. With this being a...
I was very impressed with what it can do.
As for the cut, don't think I'm going to do that.
Not needed and its to much work for almost nothing other than maybe the look ?
Test

If anything it feels better ? No wind today but it drives like nothing has changed. Glad it has a rear sway bar ! Also seems to have a little more power?
Still need to change the trans oil to ATF. Shifts hard for 3,4 then just pulls and you can't really feel 5,6,7. Down shifts are a little firm...
Testing went well. Don't think the back will need to be cut ? Still not sure.
Man can this truck climb ! Didn't push hard because of the old tires. But look out when I get some new rubber. I think you could get your self into trouble with this truck.
5' from the floor to the ground.Big day it's all welded down and I have been to the scales. 16,420 Lbs. with 1/2 tank of diesel and a 200+- lbs. driver. I need to lose some weight ? That's like 800+ lbs. lighter than stock. Cool. Now if I could only find a good deal on some Alum. wheels ?
Now...
Yep !
Also was thinking about the run up to the first mesa,going to Crown King the back way ? After that the truck is just to big. I don't want to take the chain saw. LOL
Maybe some running around the North end of Lake Pleasant ? But that is a little far for a first test.
The spot is just North of Bell Rd.and El Mirage. Think it's the Aqua Fria river bed. Nothing very hard. Not that I can't get her stuck. Just going to see what she will do in general ?
Going to setup the GoPro's just for fun.
And its only 20 min's from the shop.
