Funny, Jeff... I went wheelin' one weekend (weekend after RMIHR and NWBRU),
and ripped the driver's side mount clean.  Welded it up that night.

One month later... NO FOURWHEELING... the closest I came to wheelin' was
driving slowly through some ruts at the Fairgrounds in Bozeman to get to the
"pit" for the race weekend... all pavement.... and then I noticed the
passenger side mangled badly.

I can't explain it!

I think I'll be doing that... as well as adding plenty of gussets... once I
get some practice in with the stick welder... too busy fixin' n' doin' to
practice my welding technique...
