Since it's a 5500, they are either already larger, or it just looks larger. The AEV flares are definitely going to require cutting. We'll see how it goes when the time comes, which will probably be late spring/early summer. Meantime, we'll be rocking the low traction dually. The wheels and tires are on order, but they come when they come, it seems.
Temps were varying, since it's Northern Utah it could be 20 or it could be near 50. It snowed a lot briefly, then melted again. We had some pretty good ski days, but I opted to skip since I had qualified welding help and an itch to make some noticeable progress.
Speaking of which, I took a break from heavy steel work and had a whack at some cabinet work.
This build jumps around, in no clear order either because I am ADHD, or because I am a creative mind. Possibly both.
Pardon my mess. The cabinet frame needs a few legs in the front still, but a test fit was in order. Yup, these are Ikea cabinets. Heavy, but versatile and relatively robust.
By this time it was getting dark, and so the photo is a little blurry. But, the fridge slide is functional, so that's nice! Planning to add some caster wheels to the front so that can also double as another seat, since it's across from the couch it will make it seem almost like a dining area. We're reusing the Whynter fridge from our van because it's worked well for us so far. Drawer will have a cabinet face attached to it when the time comes. Unfortunately, the sink we chose is too deep to use above the fridge, so it will be moved to the other end of the kitchen. No big deal, it makes more space to set groceries, random gear, etc when we come in the door.
