M-715 Buildup - M-Truck To Moab, Part II
The first step after gutting the interior was to build the floor plates for the cage. Because of the fullsize Jeep's flexible frame, I decided to use large floor plates that wouldn't punch through the sheetmetal rather than tie the cage to the frame. Make the top and bottom plates different sizes to prevent the sheetmetal from work-hardening and cracking. Where body reinforcement prevented it, I used two smaller plates on the bottom as shown.
