I'm leaning towards leaving the stamped x member and just cutting the plates.

 

Weak xmember though

 

Guess if you're gonna do it, might as well do it right... You finish yours yet?

 

@Sub-Zero You get that hub assembl swapped?

 

Didnt even start

 

WTF? You've had them for like a day already?

 

Damn. Gone for an hour and 6 pages.

 

I am slacker

 

No where as bad as me

 

Sorry. Mostly me I think

 

Think I was under 3k posts before tonight

 

@stairgod what's the best way to waterproof plywood?

 

Depends on usage. Helmsman Spar Urethane works well out doors. Epoxy bar top finish holds up great. Good old fiberglass too( I use it on balconies and upper floor decks.

Om a budget, Thompson Water Seal. Least effectibe, but chesp. Redo yearly. Might get 4-5 years out of the plywood.

 

The bigger Prius V. It's actually called the Prius V Five. Confuses everybody. Seats five comfortably. Except when @HolyHandGrenade is in it. Then three would fit.
Maintenance is oil change every 10k. Never have done the brakes yet and it's at 130k now. It's only on its second set of all season tires.
My wife has been driving it since I left the Old Bridge/Perth Amboy job a few years ago. Which is why the mileage took a dive from 120k first two years to a total of 130k now.

 

Cool thanks. I'm gonna be adding a 3/4 piece of plywood to the top of my brute force cage. So I have multiple places to bolt down.

 

Damper is better than dragging my Cinderella blankets through the mud.

 

So Lloyd.....spindle gussets?

 

I would go with the urethane for that.

 

Prius doesn't have a middle hump, so you'll be more comfortable.

 

Yeah, with swaybar. I have 3/4" spacers. That should work right?
