like so...


completely detachable!


looks nice and tidy, and its out of the way of the shocks too


3/16" thick tabs will do the trick just fine


other side


here is how it sits... now, this is where it gets messed up... i need the tank to be facing with the pump and stuff at the back... but if i have it that way, the tank carrier has to hang way too low... if i slam the back end down on anything, it will hit for sure!


this is how it sits... actually! i just thought of something! i can totally shorten the distance between the bend and the tabs at the front! just cut out like 4" of it, and weld it back together! that should work...


somewhere between all of that and flipping the frame back over, i welded in the front spring hanger! its freaking beef!




overall shot! im very happy with the way its going, except for the gas tank carrier (so far)


and this is where the body mount needs to be moved to... kinda sucks, cause thats almost right overtop of where the seam is haha! ill have to figure something out... maybe i will weld a diamond plate on the inside...
