Wanted to take Maddie for a ride last night after work and push her harder but she broke her front brake lever at the start of mondays ride. so decided a front brake lever was neneeded ignore the sweet welds , lazy and Long skinny extension cord but it worked great

Finally skinned one my tube fenders.

my steel TIG welds are getting better, slowly, but no (or very little) warpage so I'm happy.

I also ordered a set of StinkyFabRacing's heavy duty YJ motor mounts. Hopefully the material thickness is enough.

Heavy duty motor mounts not thick enough... for what?

Heavy duty motor mounts not thick enough... for what?

I dunno I think I'm just paranoid, I'm a firm believer of overkill is underrated so ideally I'd love them to be .375, or a minimum of .25". But they look to be maybe .188". Website doesn't say and I forgot to ask over the phone.

I was going to just build some similar to the SFR ones with .25" but I am trying to save time. If I feel the SFR ones are inadequate I'll add some more .188" gussets.

I didn't really love the Brown Dog Offroad ones either, even though they look to be maybe .25".

That looks really good!
Wouldnt it be cool if you had a build thread to post these kind of updates in?
