I've cut the ends of mine open and stuck my arm in and sorta figured what it was like mentally already; but this is quite a clear way to see how the panels are stitched together.

If you've seen Mick T's high clearance sills and you're considering doing it as well, this might be of some use. These are some really clear pics of the inside of the Sierra sills (thanks to Andrey/Russian on Pirate):

I aint got a digi but I did this a few months ago. I cut the sills off just below the door as in your photo. I got some folded 2mm steel given to me by an engineer and had it welded direct to the body.( Mig.)
The steel was folded like a rectangle with the centre section of the top wide area cut off, if that makes sense. So it has a fold inwards about 10mm on the top each side. The steel was galvanised too. Now my sills hang down just over 50mm. The floor is actually lower than the sills.
I'll address that later with a short piece of angle.

or like this as posted elsewhere doesnt give as much clearance but would be a reasonable alternative to actual welded or bolted sliders particularly if built out of 3mm plate
..................I myself would still go the traditional slider .....but I always seem to have the chuck wagon on trail runs .....I carry most shite for repairs .....so the overweight rigs always need sturdy protection
