Really love seeing this stuff thanks for posting

 

Wow never seen liners that long it a good thing you will never worry about that frame breaking. So many think a weld and diamond plate is good enough it only a start. Great job!

 

So what's the plan for the added length, more freight overhang off the front of the trailer ?

 

Are you going to caulk the ends and the tops and bottoms of the liners where they meet the frame ?

I would suggest 5200 marine caulk or if you are on a budget Loctite just recently came out with a knockoff for less than half the price that would suffice .

I wish I lived close to you. I’d lend you an extra pair of hands (not much use other than holding stuff) just to watch, learn, and admire. That is if you’d have me LOL. I love when you guys post pics of projects.

 

What did you gain in length?

I would love to do the same to my 9300 just because it would be so much more practical to update to the new cutoff rather than go through my rears and the rest of the 23 yo assembly.

Not to mention I would love to lengthen my bunk by 3-5 feet in the future.

One problem is my free pole barn I have it stored in is not mine and my truck fits in it by less than an inch lengthwise .

I've looked at the barn thinking I could add a affordable 4 foot high addition to the back that the rear frame would squeeze into and than back the truck in.

Problem is there is only 7' 8" between the posts . Too many modifications to sneak by for now.
