I totally understand wanting a solid floor, I traded my whole shell for a better one.

I did put about ten or twelve 230 mile trips on that old rusty bucket before I got rid of it though(I live in Homer and go to college in Anchorage a 230 mile one way trip)

I'm sure they use a ton of salt on the roads in Bathurst, plus being right beside the Atlantic Ocean doesn't help either   :evil:
