Braces for the fenders. I went ahead and drilled and tapped for running lights before I welded them on. I kinda liked the look better without them, but I know they'll make them a lot stronger.

Welding upside down is always a challenge for me.

I also drilled and tapped for a side marker light.

Here's a few pics of how they'll look with the running lights mounted.

I decided to change the tongue jack for a heavier one sense I sometimes like to unhitch the trailer with it still loaded. I'm going to install an 8000lb side wind, drop-leg style jack. Here's a 3/8" plate I made to hold the jack, it has a 4" channel gusset under the plate. Hope to get the jack welded on later tonight.
