sorry i havent posted pics yet, but so far heres whats done:

Frame fully welded with cross members welded on.
Spring hangers welded on.
Tounge welded on.
2" coupler welded on.
Leaf springs mounted.
Axle resting on leafs until i fab some u-bolt plates tomorrow morn (sun).

Once i finish the ubolt plates (1/4" steel) and fasten the axle to the leafs, then i can turn it over and mount the wheels and start the box.

It's amazing how much time things take when you do it right. I forgot how long welding can take when your laying a bead down on every joint - top, bottom, and sides.

This thing is soo stout and strong, i'm already feeling confident that this thing is gonna handle the beatings thats waiting for it. hehe.

Ill snap some pics sunday.
