Are you planning to reinforce the "X" in the frame ?

yes i want to build a bumper that ties the whole thing together and also again allows for operation on the tailgate, this is just the initial effort. and i didnt cut it to any specific length, i just cut 16 inches out. i wanted to get the overhang and close as possible and its pretty close

16" is what I took out of my short box.
Here is a good write up from a guy who just did a bob on a long box, he did a good job tying the x back In.

nice rear end ; ) lol. yeah the butt of this jeep is going to be as simple as possible. i have smacked both shackles but its easy to drive off a shackle, not easy to drive off a hooked bed. i hate the rake these things seem to get gonna do long arms and 2 more inches of lift in the front of mine
