    Finally started to mod the wood hauler today. Cut off the back and started building the sides. It will not be a dump unit this year, but loading logs and rounds will be much easier now. Expanded metal goes on next weekend. I need some welding lessons, but this will not break. Steel is expensive....!!!!! 7CF1C83C-D148-40F0-AAA0-894622059757.jpeg 13E84732-4AEC-4BDA-BEB0-278655A36800.jpeg

    I'd make the expanded bolt or pin on. May be an app down the road that it gets in the way of.

    I haul more horse chite than wood. I just added some PT wood to a set of Hornet Rails. Not as nice as Woodsnwoods' set up but it works for me. IMG_20190505_085144167.jpg

    Wow that's going to be one badass machine when your finished bud! Pro tip on the steel prices: make friends with a guy in a steel supply shop. :dex:
