Got it. Would that be a mfg. date or an expiration date?

Lol yes, born on date

Better be manufacturing date! I just bought that yesterday

Lol.

What's so funny mister??

Ok so I have to replace the tire. Guess I'll wait until I have the Osprey so I can see the tread pattern and match it as close as possible. By the pics on their website American Teardrop uses a bit more aggressive tread than the one on this wheel.

@Tflynn, I've been to two local steel suppliers and neither had 1-1/4" square in a 1/16" wall. Looks like I'll have to buy it on line. I won't need that much, so the premium price and shipping would be offset by the time and trouble and fuel to go to Tulsa or Dallas I suppose.

Hmm that is weird it's a pretty basic size. You may try telling them 16 gauge wall instead of 1/16". ,it's essentially the same thing I'd think they would know that.

Or just go 1.5" square. Adds unnecessary weight but not much. Damn, I got everything you need right here

Just called back, ok, should have talked to the guys in the yard not the front desk lol. Yes, they have 16 gauge. This will be not expensive. One 20' stick of 1-1/4" square 16 gauge and a 1/4 sheet of (I'm not sure yet what size) expanded metal. Should be $60-75.00 and 20-25 lbs.

DP5 holy crap you've been busy! Looking great!

I think to save weight and money I'd skip the expanded metal and do a frame like this-

Not to scale obviously

Not a mansion or a pepper, just a cozy place in the eastern hills of Oklahoma.

Why wouldn't 1x1 work? I've used that many times for projects. Plenty strong and if you get moly it light

Looks good DP!

This is what I've essentially got in mind. How about what mopar said, think 1" would be sufficient?
