Well started making the mounts, my first plan was not going to work so I have started a new idea. So far so good.

There will be a lot of gussets added so it will be strong. Hoping to get these finished and then make a removable cross member soon.

Thanks man, it does really nice like that :) and the tires usually only run $90 ea. The 16.5 is not laying everywhere, but seems like if you can find a wrecking yard with older rigs it doesn't seem to be impossible. Check on CL and any of your local tire shops. They were on a lot of the older dodges, and a lot of the Chevy box vans had them.

I don't have a recent one, but this is one before I put the 37"s on :)ImageUploadedByTapatalk1357477555.823600.jpg
No issues at all, not even now with the 37"s
I don't have that trailer anymore, but I'm building on another one and it will be a 24' living quarter in front with a 16' flat on the back fit my one of my jeeps.

Oh I know it will be. I keep getting closer and the excitement is starting to kill me :lolly:

Well last night I was able to make my trip to pick up a dana 60.

D60. Gears are flawless all that needs fixed are the u-joints.

Next I will be picking up a 8" lift kit and some 16.5 dually wheels!
 
Got the cab off tonight so I can start work on the fuel and brake lines and then paint the frame.

Got the transmission cross member all finished up and stuck the drive train in for mock up so I can finish some stuff on the frame.
