May 2021 (continued)

Got the rear axle mounted to the frame and found that the mount pivots didn’t hold up. Bolted on replacement running board brackets, making the frame essentially complete (except for fixing the rear axle pivots.) Found that the rear axle bump stops I got from Jim Carter didn’t line up with the holes in the frame, but got them bolted on anyway.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
