updates... I am done with all the big stuff for the back. When she's sitting on all 4's and a little lower to work on I will mount shovels, 5 gallon mx containers, etc. Its also a better idea to mount the fenders when its sitting on the ground and not up all high and drooped out.

-added the last 2 structural tubes
-bottom 3 "sunk in" skid plates done
-made all tabs
-side panels
-completed the storage area for tools straps etc.....

This will be the FIRST weekend to start on the front end. I plan on using Friday to build and complete a structural support area on the frame then move to the front. The more I keep thinking about it, the more it looks like I might need to build a tranny xmember

^^thanks guys. always appreciate the comments

decided to leave the shop a little early. Lifting the rear of the truck up with the crane I noticed some minor flexing in a specific area of the frame. Thinking of what could happen if the frame were to break/crack/bend/fatigue I fabricated a simple structure. And 2 support plates. Back at it tomarrow. Everyone have a good Friday. Shame what happened in Colorado.

Looks good man.

What coating is that you used on the frame and new support? Tool black? Primer?
