Shortening my short bed

[xj92]

I want to build my MJ into a crawler. The current step in that process is to bob the bed so I have a better departure angle. I cut out a 14" section today and will hopefully get to work cleaning it up and welding it back on some time Monday. Did most of it with a 4.5" angle grinder, then used the sawzall for those places I couldn't reach with the grinder. Click the thumbnail for pics.
