Ouch, that must have sucked!

Leather gloves!!

Still probably would have went through, but might have lessened the cut.

How long is that beast gonna be and what size are the axles under it?

Why add into the middle instead of extending the rear? It would have been two less frame splices. Or are you not moving the axles forward at all?

I hadn't planned on moving the axles forward. It ended up being about 37 ish feet. Axles size would be whatever it came with. This thing wont carry anything heavy, its not gonna be a car carrier.
