Was able to get a little work done. Bolted the tub back onto the frame. That required a bit more finagling than I had planned. In order to get the middle of the tub to sit flush I needed to have the Mrs. stand in it with a few cases of ammo. Sorry no photos of the wife. This was not her idea...

Received everything back from the blaster last night. A quick pass over things revealed at least two more small holes to fill in the floor of the tub. Also, here's the new spring hangers with added shock mounts. It's supposed to get good and cold for the weekend. We'll see how long I can...

Thanks Don! I still need to learn the secret handshake. ;-) Actually, your build has been inspiration for me. It has also had me in the great internal debate as to whether or not to cut the gate into it. I'd like to skip it but the utility of one is very appealing. In the end, mine will...

Thank you Sir!

Resurrecting an old thread to ask a couple of questions. I am looking to go the route that BADDANDY took to extend my M416 tongue. But when I eyeball everything (and looking at the photos here) I will need to drill six new holes or weld it all together because the rear of the new rails do not...
