Small update today, time change screwed up my sleep schedule, so got a late start. Was able to get some 3/16" plates welded to the bulkhead, and brainstormed some ideas for further frame bracing, about the same time one of my saw horses decided it was its time to go. Yep, that was a bit scary, seeing the buggy, various tools, pipe and plate steel come crashing down. Good thing I wasn't in the way, scared the sh!t out of the neighbors though. So my next endeavor will be constructing a heavy duty rolling table and then back on the front end.

I do have a question for the other spiderbox owners, is it worth bracing the sides of the bulkhead where it bolts to the frame tongue? I was going to, and then stopped, no need adding more weight if it isn't in a failure point. I will, however, be drilling out the holes to accept some 5/8" or 3/4" grade 8 bolts. Also, should I brace the back control arm tabs as well as the front?
