I got the lid built and all of the welds ground down that will be plated over. I still plan to run a tube or plate between the middle two lid crossmembers. I plan to mount the spare on top of the lid and want something more rigid for the hold down besides the sheet metal skin
Next I need to built the rear gate and also install a plate across the tongue and angled supports for more piece of mind.
I have sheetmetal, steel for fender frames, hinges and lid latches on order and they should be here next week. I still need to find a compression latch for the rear gate. Not sure what I’m doing there yet.

Thanks guys!
Honestly, I wish I could say yes. But these two kids make it hard to commit to anything like that. And we’ll see if you still want one once you see the finished product. Lol

Thanks. And only one way to learn. Well I guess there are multiple ways to learn... but I just bought a welder and started practicing. And watching welding tips and tricks on YouTube. It helped having a couple welders at work and lots of scrap. [emoji106]

So just curious when you build something like this how do you get a bin and register it?

I haven’t actually done it before but from my research and a couple buddies that have, make an appt with DMV to get it all inspected, fill out the paperwork, (obviously has to meet all the proper requirements) show receipts as a cost basis for tax and pay the man his money. Get the VIN and be on your way.

I think they give you a VIN plate/plaque that you have to put on the tongue. I had done the research at one point too and it seems pretty easy. Well, maybe harder with the rona and the DMV closed for 8 weeks. Lol
