Pulled the axle out from under the Jeep again so I could better finish the welds. They look a bit blobby but they'll hold.

Man, I went through a lot of angle grinder cutting disks, 4, in the last day and a half. For some reasons these discs kept binding up when cutting through the plate steel. And at ~12,000 rpm when they do that they crack or chip and then start disintegrating rapidly after that. So, I picked up another disk this morning. That and more welding wire. Ran out of the welding wire last night after HD had closed so I couldn't do much additional work.
