Back at it again
Well, we've been working on this thing on and off for a while. Thanksgiving holiday we took some time off to finish up the 3 link upfront.

Got the motor mounts situated properly. The engine goes in for the last time (at least for axle mock up and finish welding). New steering gear installed too.

Frame strengthening plates get tacked in to mock up before finish welding.

Final check of articulation and all clearance before finish welding the axle.

Axle out for finish welding. Adding gussets and building out the truss, etc.
