I did go way overkill on mine (lots of 3/16ths wall steel), but you can't go that much smaller and keep the strength without more engineering (and more cutting/welding).

I'd figure on $200 for it, just to be on the safe side. That's still far cheaper than other places though. (No idea on the FJC, but I know for the 80 you're looking at $800 to a grand real easy.)
Thats good to know! The 200 mark is what I'm tryN to stay away from. I can get a set of stock or aftermarket for about that... Thats Why I jumped at knoll's comment about building a set for 100 or less... Its all about the money, We all know that!
