Yea, thats not a worth while idea.
I'll pass on this then, thanks for keeping me in check. I thought it might be affective enhancement to these weak frames. Seems for what I want a few pieces of plate will do just fine.

Just an fyi... If you mess up. A grinder with a cutoff and some grinder wheels will always get you right back where ya started.

Get to getting something done.

If it's not running by then I'll let you, maybe we can go wheeling. I sometimes have bad insomnia and all I think about it this truck and I tend to spill everything out.
If It wasn't for working in a driveway I think I would be further along. I have 5 days of planning 2 days to execute it and hope for something productive.

I know. I'm just busting your chops. I have crap loads of ideas for the jimmy. Just no place to execute them. So it will only get repairs.
I would like to try out that trail you did with the AZ guys, that looked like something I would enjoy.
