    Once the snow is gone I will yank it in the garage and skin it. Very easy to lose motivation on these when it is 0 outside!

    It's hard to find motivation @85* or better yet when summer hits 98 100 then humidity on top here makes it a feels like 118 or something ridiculous

    1997 t4r has super duty axles, 5.13s locked front and rear. 3 link front with 14" kings. Rear 63s.
    Few pictures of progress. Axle is 90% done. Need to box in the ends and fish plate the bottom joints, outer frame to tongue braces. Also going to plate where the braces and main tube meet

    Main frame is 1/8. Tongue is 3/16 axle is 1/4 Fish plates will be 3/16.

    Some braces for the corners and other parts. Waiting on my guy to be available to meet and get the springs and I can get the axle under it.

    Make sure you are aware of the surroundings. Sparks can start fires glad I smelled the fire or it could have went a lot worse then this.
