Mine is exactly that, but its braced from behind so it never spans and real distance. I also plated the mounting area with 1/4 to keep the tabs from tearing the tube

It ended up getting even more heavily plated than this where the link tabs mount.

Incredibly tempting....I'll keep an eye on that haha.

Updates... Rear lower crossmember bent, got a newer stronger one in. Door bars in this past weekend. Replumbed fuel cell breather and catch can and finally added a radiator overflow.

Considering redoing frame side front lower link mounts for a bit more ground clearance and triangulation.

A pair of Fox air bumps are on their way, likely for the rear, still need to figure something out for the front.

Wheeled it at Rausch over winter break and it performed pretty well, save for the anemic motor and rear suspension dying.

Left to do for upcoming season.
-Maybe front lower link mounts
-rebuild rear shocks
-air bumps
-lights
-new steering pump possibly with a smaller pulley

other things I'm sure I'm not thinking of.

air bumps are here, still undecided on location, leaning towards front now.

Work/life/family happened and I never got a chance to draw them up, but I also meant to text you on them because it turns out the whole plan wont work without a 2 piece driveshaft. I still want some gussets as does Zach I think, and I also owe you some money. Did you buy anything at the auction? I saw your bobcat went for a pretty penny.

On gussets, do you want me to put them into a .dxf or is that picture enough for you? Idea on price on them?

If you can cleanup/dxf the gussets that would be awesome! My schedule is slammed right now, and cad work is the most time consuming part of the process.

If you can just paypal me the money that would be great. Got some stuff I wanna buy via paypal anyway.

Price on the gussets, $5/ea sound reasonable? I'll do the first round for that and see how it goes.

I bought $4500 worth of flooring and $4500 worth of kitchen cabinets. Never made it over to the equipment auction. What did the bobcat sell for?

That sounds fair. If I remember correctly my dad told me it brought into the low 20's
