i have been working on this.  i simply need to make 2 more brackets and then i'll technically be a roller.  a full bump roller, but its progress.  bought new sawzall blades so i can cut off the rear of the frame, yay!

Nothing 3 batteries and a couple jumper cables wouldn't solve. You could make 15 of them for less than 1500 
 and yes it works

Oh and IAN when I come to get the tube I will bring some of that C channel I have you can see if it'll work for the trailer.

dropped of one of my iroks at woburn tire to have it vulcanized this afternoon.  it needed a new valve stem and i thought id have them see what they could do the big gash on the inside sidewall.

One of those 42's had a gash?

Hmm never seen it.

Jason.

[Twisty]

Yes, a pretty deep one.  Maybe .25" deep and 5" long right near the bead running up towards the tread.

[Ian]

my tire guy has a mullet and is really really good and he said "wow'

i didn't want it to get any bigger or to actually leak air.

[Lumbuse]

He said gash, I like gash.........

Nice coming along

cross members are tacked it.  i have one for the transmission and will tie into the front upper 3rd link.  another is for the rear link mount.  it tied the atlas into this cross member.  this that take time and custom fitting homemade brackets to fit.  i needed longer brackets than came with the kit.    no biggie, but it takes time...  

look ma' self supporting.







i cut up the stock transmission mount to mount to my 1.5" crossmember.  i did one side with a plasma cutter and another side with a cut off wheel.  silly me, circle are for plasma cutters....

[Ian]

you can see in the last picture that the tie rod is mounted behind axle.
