    That's all excellent there tater, good job and everything. I hate to burst your bubble at this late date, but you should Not have welded onto that frame. Frames are tempered, and that just killed its temper and left it brittle. You'll want to watch that area over the years for cracks. Anyways, good luck, and stay safe ; )


    Not sure what I was looking at when the pictures were first loading. When I wrote that post I was thinking it was mounted near the front of the bed(near center of the frame) but after looking at the photos again realized it was near the rear bumper. Not near as big a deal there but you still might wanna glance at it ever year or so, specially if it takes a lot of abuse under the weight of a heavy trailer on country roads etc ; )
