Looks good. I welded mine and my buddy said why is it splattering? Steel doesn't do that! I said cause its galvanized.

I used EMT, you're supposed to grind the galvanized coating off before you weld it. I just used flux core wire cause I had no gas left.

A couple of simple things- made an iphone harness and installed it to the dash, installed a drivers side grab bar (mine didn't have one- all vehicles should have these especially on the drivers side!!!!) and a cargo cubby that is big enough to hold my tow strap, fixaflat, wd40, jack, diapers, gas mask, etc...

Built a tire carrier for my son's rig.


The mount uses his trail spare Dana 30 hub to hold the tire.
The whole thing can be unbolted and removed in a few minutes.
