    I’ve seen quite a few. They might not be my first choice, but the more I read about them they really aren’t terrible or as heavy as people think. Once you weld a bunch of trusses and shit on a d60/14 bolt they aren’t much different in weight and the Rockwells are a fuckload stronger.

    I’ll take one from the driver seat after work. Perfect line of sight out of the top. Hell it’s even better to haul since it’s low and can see around it. That taco was massive.

    I think I’d rather kill myself than wheel this thing for a weekend in the southeast in August.

    I’m getting swamp ass just thinking about it.

    Finished up the crossmember this morning. Driveshafts, brake lines, and ps lines are pretty much all I’m lacking.

    Just a suggestion and maybe you already handled it a different way, but that would be a lot stronger if you added a vertical plate across that middle piece.

    I considered it, but the only way I see benefit is if it ties the two sides together to help keep them attached to the plate. The middle section is 3/16 plate bolted to another 3/16 plate, I’m not worried about it bending or twisting.

    Glad it proved helpful to someone. I went into full bore project paralysis trying to come up with this simple ass design. But it turned out pretty good so I’m happy with it.
