It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The Stout is as good as it was 5 years ago. Im Still using it like I built it to be used all through 2024. I renewed the plates for 5 more years, took many trips to the hardware store, used it to haul 1/4 ton of gravel for the back yard, did a Junkyard run or two, and of course it attended the 2024 Yota expo.
