Still the same for now.
But the plan is to work on the tub Thursday.
Goal is to be mostly done within next few weeks because I can leave it in the garage and not have to roll it in and out for the Jeep.
At least my part done I’ll still have to get it powder coated and painted.
Let me know if you want help one day. Maybe the girls could have a play date.

Yeah that would be cool, Lenna said she will watch them.
Likely a fair bit of truth there.

I have been digging through my notes. I don’t recall. I will keep looking and see if I can find it for you somewhere.

Thanks so much. More XJ guys use these than us but majority use steel wheels
With low enough standards, anything looks like a trailer.

Well I must be in the ballpark he didn’t say boat.
If you've seen my trailer you'd come to realize that my standards are pretty fucking low.
I think my 4x4 harbor freight trailer wins the low standards award, that's 4' x 4' and not 4x4. I was thinking of using these as spare tires but I haven't found adapters for this lug pattern.
The oldest parts are from the late-1940s. The fenders are made from a poorly chopped up boiler tank. When I got it, the tongue was made from 3" water pipe, probably salvaged from the boiler.

Aesthetics. It looked to be the right size! I think that one is actually good for 20,000lbs.
