I've been brainstorming some ideas at work, I really want to shorten this short bus up. It's just too long for what I'm doing with it. The flat belly really helped a shit ton, I do not hang up on the tranny crossmember anymore but instead I am eating up driveshafts. This is my 3rd and it already has a vibe from the past 2 trips. I would like to shorten it up to 117", same as the 4 door jk, using frenched in front hangers. I would box the section of the frame where these would go and French them as far as I could.
I would then toob the bed afterwards mounting my tool box somewhere near where it is now and run a set of short bedsides dovetailed. All while trying to keep the gas tank under the truck. I need to check and see how the reg cabs tank mounts.
