Been bad about taking pics lately. Here are some of the latest things going on with it:
The traction bar crossmember was drilled and tapped into the thin walled frame. I decided that wouldn't suffice. So, out came the plasma cutter, some DOM and the welder. I cut holes in the frame to bush it solid with some 1/2 ID DOM. Then I fit it all in there, and welded it all up and ground it all smooth again. Turned out great. The crossmember will not go anywhere now!!
Tacked in place:
All welded up:
