Was pretty tired today, so didn't get much done. The welds on my truss were smaller and colder than I'm comfortable with. I started to add passes with the Tig welder.. I'm happy it's winter, it gets pretty hot welding so much. Sent from my XT1585 using WAYALIFE mobile app

Started to get the frame ready for the new control arm mounts. The old tub and leaf spring mounts were cut off and the welds are getting ground off. A little bit of grinding is left for tomorrow.the passenger side is all but prepped. the driver's side has the bulk of what's left to finish...
