BRACING FLOOR NEED SUGGESTIONS


Recommended Posts

Whats up guys, got my build playing a couple weeks ago. 6 psi platform 5 18's 30k 99 Yukon. the floor is flexxing almost 1.5 inches. what are some decent ways to brace it. yes I have a welder and am not afraid to use it lol. :) give me some suggestions. I will be bracing the trans tunnel and floorboard.

keep in mind, the floor board is not flat. it is ribbed for strength. thanks guys. don't want rip the floor a couple weeks after I just got it playing haha.

Have you deadened it at all? And, with having floor ribs, it still flexes?

fuck the plating. look at what the main metal used is. you could buy unicorn blood plated terminals but if its just covering up dog shit, whats the point

I'll admit, half way through sanding that fiberglass in the rain and cold while I was all itchy I was definitely starting to question why i was doing this haha

You have a welder, so crack out either some box tubing or angle iron and get to work.

that is the plan but I want a few more opinions to see if anyone else has tried other ways.

Ours happened fast... about 8 days of playing it.

11" rip on one side of the trans tunnel, and a 8" on the other.

10" rip on pass side floor board. Kenny had enough.

Cut templates, matched with metal. Floor board is weak. Youll just break at the welds if you dont beef it up.

Thanks, that's what im trying to avoid haha. have you braced yours yet? if so how thick of metal did you use.

the reason I haven't welded the floor yet is because my welder is a 170 amp 220v and it blows holes in the sheet metal almost immediately lol.

Weld in some steel, then put some wood on top.

Turn the welder down if its blowing holes. Mine was done with a 220v welder.

It'll also problyyy happen again too

Yup. And you can even pl glue some wood down. You just need to add some mass. And Derek is right..... its probably going to be an ever lasting battle. Or if the floor holds, the dash and fire wall is IS next. Struggle is real. Just keep on keepin on till the truck folds in half, and then buy another one :)

We also thought about hitting our pickNpull and cut out a floor from a donor. Cut some spot weld holes in, and lay it over, and go to town. But, we went the repair what was broken, then lay strips of metal down. So far, its holding, as far as we know.
