Not much progress lately as I've had other priorities and the heat in the garage is unbearable after work.
But I managed to work on the fresh water storage tank some. Frame is painted and aluminum skid plate is cut out and will get glued down, forgot to get pics of that.
Need to weld on some...
That's a serious frame that will take a lot of abuse! Nice stacks of dimes on those welds. I'd love to say I'll get there someday, but I fear my aging eyesight says I've peaked on my welding skills a while ago. Look forward to seeing the rest of the build.

Given I've learned a lot from the build posts here I figured I will add to the mix.
My wife and I sold our 5th wheel and opted to find something that we can tow with our Jeep.
