[IMG]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/rix86/1or2truckpics/DSCN4450.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/rix86/1or2truckpics/DSCN4451.jpg[/IMG] addded gussets to the bottom of the outside of the leg where it meets the main rail. not sure why. [IMG]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/rix86/1or2truckpics/DSCN4453.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c148/rix86/1or2truckpics/DSCN4511.jpg[/IMG] notching tube with a plasma ctter and angle grinder. cutting angles with a sawsall.
