And So it begins

My axle, tires and rims came in last week and this weekend I had them mounted and balanced. The axle is 72" hub to hub with the frame mounting brackets at 59" with electric brakes and EZ Lube hubs.

Here is my "Little Mule" that will get me were I want to be.

I matched the trailer tires and rims with my Jeep for many reasons....mostly just in case I need a spare tire or 2.

I'm tied up this coming weekend so Oct. 4th is frame building day. :thumbsup: And then the games will begin. :)

very nice! Details on the axle?

Nice LJ, also. :thumbsup:
If you can build it, I can break it.
It isnt half empty or half full, it is twice as big as it needs to be.
