Front suspension strut.....I weld those..... Notice the steering knuckle, hydraulic cylinder and other assorted steering goodies.....oh, and the brake hoses.....


Rear suspension and diff cover.....You should see the ring and pinion gear.....you'd crap yourself. Notice the rear suspension and "normal sized" led stop, tail, and turn lights. The rubber tractor lights crack me up.....
