You will need a heavier duty axle and springs. :)

Trailer as she sits. Didn't even get the axle under it before my neighbor wanted to borrow it to go pick up his 4wheeler from the shop. Figured I'd let him so he didn't have to take his 32' tandem dual lol

Extremely proud of how this came out. Nothing I'd change yet. I knew I did a good job welding the frame up, because when I popped the first hole in it, it let out about 5psi of air so I know the frame is air and water tight. About to give it a coat of primer.

Only thing left to do is add the 6" Amazon light bar on the back for a reverse light and add tie down/rub rails on the sides.

The 1" square down the center is for wiring protection. Brake lights are also LEDs so no shitty bulbs going out every week. Cut up some 5" square tubing to protect the tail lights also.

Have you looked into the title/registration part yet?
Yeah I've gotta run it across a scale, then schedule an appointment for some government government employee to look it over for safety and see if it's stolen. Until then I'll risk not having tags because I'm such a bad boy Rebel.

Yeah I had to take it to the local county popo office.. Deputy came out and was like "Hey come look at this" to other deputies. Just have some bill of sales for the steel and other parts if you have them.

Well shit that is gonna be a problem. Receipt is in the truck at the evidence lot.

Hopefully pictures of it being built on my phone is good enough

Some pics of your build process would probably work as well. Say it was all left over steel and parts.

Probably the easiest way to do it since he buys bulk steel all the time for work. He would still need to produce something for the axle and hitch probably

Or just say it was a leftover you have had laying around for years.

That accident that happened a couple weeks back. I won't get the truck back until after the trial and everything. May be a year before it gets returned to me.
Ahh ok.

Dang, a year? Insurance should total it out so your able to recover your loss.

Was that your welding rig or the new dodge?

New truck. I wish it was the welding rig. I would have just cut my losses and got a new one. I've been on the fence to do that anyway.

I asked insurance to total it and they were not having it
