    You make a great point Grim Reaper, I was initially worried I'd pickup some sway with this design but I've put a few hundred miles under her now and (knocks on wood) no issues so far. I'm running the bags at about 55psi and they seem to soak up the rough stuff really well. I think the shocks...

    Thanks Don, I wish I had put this up as I was going but better late than never eh? As far as welding/working goes just let me know next time you're tinkering on something and I'd be glad to swing by and give and hand and/or drink your beer!

    Thanks jeep-N-montero - I've found the jacks to be super practical so far, last weekend I took the first trip with it with elmo_4_vt out to PA and managed to level it out on a bit of a side-slope, so much so that the door side tire was a few inches off the ground.

    Thanks bonomonster, I wouldn't call myself a welder but I've put quite a few hours in behind the mask for projects over the years - I've really pleased with the quality of welds I've been able to get out of my little 110 Lincoln 140!

    Thanks Overland Hadley, I'm not a welder by any means but I have quite a bit of practice building up my old Bronco II. I pretty well started out with a lot of rust repair then moved on to fabbing up the front and rear bumpers, tire carrier, roof rack sliders and more. Now I've moved on to...
