Got the driver side wheel well almost finished, & made some good progress on the passenger side. Then decided to go with a shock hoop for the rear. The vertical tube off the hoop is where the spare tire mounting plate will get welded. BTW the HF tube kinker can sure MANGLE a piece of hrew! Lol
After keeping dereks Lincoln weld pack hostage for weeks I've decided I need my own!

Ya Haha what a waist of money that thing was! I figured screw it where its not structural & will be welded to the wheel wells... it will work fine as a shock hoop, & tire carrier.

Ya I was told that welding some bent pipe into the die would stop it from kinking, but that doesn't stop the "rollers" from denting the tube on both sides of the bend! Ya POS!

I got some more done on the OBA system, & tested it out a little. She pushes 140psi outta the pump, & fills a 35x12.5 tire from 15psi to 35psi in under a minute! Also got the hose ran to the back just gotta drill a hole for the bulk head fitting, mount the tank, & hook up the electrical w/auto shut off switch. Should be done tomorrow! (might do a wright-up after all)
