Forgot to put this in there. Underfloor 110v main feeds and trailer wiring harness with marker light feeds. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We got a roller... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Timbren axles finally showed up. Very nice build quality. My only complain is the holes that are drilled to mount the system are not at the same dimension as listed on the engineering sheet they emailed me. Very disappointing. Hoping the holes I have to enlarge 1/4" off to the side on the...

Todays progress...

Todays progress. No permanent attachments yet. Still have to seal the wood and run the wires and add the foam insulation.

Frame all painted up and dry. Floor frame glued and pocket screwed together. Tomorrow, Ill get the wood frame back off, put the sheet metal down and locate the frame where it needs to be and drill the screw and nut holes as well as pilot drill the self taping screws. Then, drill for wire...

I called them and they said three weeks to ship as well... They were also 120 dollars more for the same part number as etrailer. No biggie. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My Timbren system was supposed to ship today. Got a very disappointing email from etrailer saying thier inventory was discovered to be off when they went to package my axles. And it could be two or more weeks before I get my parts. Very upsetting. I cannot install the floor system because...

Still waiting on my Timbren axle system. Hopefully middle of next week. It is shipping Thursday.

Switched primers. Went with Rustoleum clean metal primer. Much happier with the coverage and grip to the sanded tubing. Discovered a slight bow in the forward three cross tubes, as well as the two long side tubes near the axle mounts. I guess the heating and cooling cycle during welding...

Got the JK takeoffs on the tow vehicle today. Love it. 2" spacer lift to come a bit down the road.

Progress Ordered the Timbren axle-less sytem and hubs friday. Wont be here for a couple weeks. When installing Jeep JK wheels and tires on a standard hub, I didnt foresee the challenges right away. I found a unique way to solve the problem. A discountinued, but still in stock luckily...

Chassis is all done! Back is killing me, but, it was worth it. I estimate it is around 230 pounds as she sits now. Ordering the Timbren axle-less system and hubs tomorrow. Hopefully, in a few weeks she'll be sitting on her tires and tow-able.

So, now that I figured that whole picture mess out... So, welded up the axle mounts today, ran out of wire, so Thursday when I return from my trip, I will grab another roll of wire and finish that up, run the mounts to the drill press for the Timbren to bolt to, and weld it up to the frame...

Hitch box got 4, 1/2 inch holes drilled for rosette welds, one on each side, as well as the entire rear portion got welded.

Frame is upside down, removable front coupler is right-side-up. I just sat the coupler up there for measurements and the photo op.

Frame is done, minus the axle mounting tubes. Those will be double wide and welded to the bottom from the middle cross bar to the next one back. Gotta order the Timbren system in order to get the geometry right. Hopefully next week.

Made a small change to the front cross braces. Changed the length and angle. Better matches the future tounge box and my chop saws max angle. LOL Even with .120 wall tubing, this thing is WAY overbuilt...

Just finished welding today for the most part. Actually, this idiot had to learn how to use the welder properly. Im mostly a gas torch/stick/tig kinda guy... not used to this house current mig... well, I am now. LOL. Pics to follow...

Annnnd cheap welders suck. Making it work, but what a pain in the butt...
