    Time for new decking. Also time to upgrade the flimsy crossmembers over the tires. I'm thinking channel laid flat will be better than the angle that's there now.

    Low,strong or easy pick ONE.

    I think I'd use a piece of 2 inch 1/4 wall square tube there

    I'm going to need to do the deck on my tag. Look forward to seeing yours

It'll hold salty dirt and rust out in no time. I need to use something that is open on one side. I have some 5" channel that should work if I lay it flat.

    Fluid film lasts about 10 minutes in the winter around here. I already have channel anyway

    Looks like it's ready for a thinned out coat of Rust-Oleum paint.

Trying to figure how you found the original screw holes? Drill up from frame hole with smaller bit then screw down from top?
