    That is a damn fine idea! CVs, tie rods etc. Consider this stolen.

    Oh shit! Sorry man. I guess I thought the RTT was permanent at this point.

    Not done with this side, and haven't even started getting the other side yet, due to waiting for a chance to get the steel drilled for the spindle.

    Looks good! I would have a bit bigger gap to the panel, it will flex more than you would think, ask me how I know . . .

    Lol I'm sure. I have about 3/8" in the back but for some reason my cut seems level but doesn't meet up with the bumper evenly. Anyway, I will cut it a bit more near and under the flare to Try to match that rear gap. When I get done that will all be covered anyway.

    Another little bit of progress. The hitch. The main body piece is 3x5 and the oem hitch had the hole for the hitch pin at 2.5" so after wrestling with some ideas I decided to just recess the front of the hitch receiver tube.
    First I had to cut out the notch for the tube to get welded in:
    3abuny2y_b23adcce4ea043c73d2d3e9e55ea76dd1ba59ce6.jpg
    Then I cut steel to sleeve the notch and got it welded in:

    9umyrybu_789bdcb366751cd0506635df00708751c09f4d5e.jpg
    Then drilled the hole for the hitch pin and welded the receiver tube in.

    Yes sir, thanks a lot. It still looks so bare and weak but the final stages are when this thing is really going to take shape and start looking good.
