DAMMMMM... How you cross member staying attached is a mystery. I just fixed mine too. Got the lower section replaced... before snow im gonna be filling the lower section with expanding foam insulator to keep the water from collecting inside. I think the water collection is the culprit behind the rot.

 

Im curious, whats thebest kind of foam to use in this situation? Also dont worry Stormz mines worse! =] Also just keep in mind that rot isnt the entire rot.. Just think theres most likely 3 more inchs all the way around that Visible rot thats unusable metal!

 

bondo will fix that right up/

 

thats a fail answer man, that lower sections going to have to be replaced completely. no quick fix is going to work on that support.

 

yeah its bound to go soon....lucky it isnt anyones daily driver right now
