Incredible!  Can you still open your doors?  Could you post up more pics of the rocker skids?

No the doors do not open. I can take some pics of the rockers but there isnt really anything to them. Its just a flat piece of metal welded to the tracker frame ant to the cage. I will make a point to get some better pics after I begin assembly tomorow.

16 gauge. Its thin but its welded on all 4 corners so its tight like a drum.

The photos here are taken at night under a fluorescent light and look kinda peach but I assure you its very orange. Ive still got some blacking out to do on the cage, frame and rocker skids.
