I finally have the axle setup underneath the COE today. It took about an hour, some grunting, and a sore back. But its there!
Heres the pics.Im still de-rusting the hardware to attach the axle, but it should be done in the next day or so. Im getting excited. My welder friend finished filling the holes in the drums and I just have to pick them up, drag them into a machine shop, and have the 5 lug pattern machined. Then its on to installing the dump and new tires.
Way cool.
