Didn't do much of anything on the lv tonight, the wife and I decided to goto a movie.

Got home and I've been meaning to tear into the front bib. I wish I would have taken some before pics. I might be able to find some in the back of the trailer after it was sandblasted. I bought a new/used bib from a fellow mudder because the one that came on the lv was bent and full of bondo. I knew when I bought this bib that it had this problem, I'm sure all do. You could tell my a small hole on the front and slight buldging between the spot welds, although after sandblasting it looked pretty good?

Anyway, took the spot weld cutter and cut out about 30 spot welds. I'll try to get both parts sandblasted tomorrow. A little metal work to do on the larger part, prime and plug weld it back together. I'm sure at the factory it was never primed, that's why this occured.

Just thought I would post a pic.
