The blade just stuck and exploded, better my hand than my face.

on the axle we cut it way down theres about 4 inches thats tucked inside the square tubing, i notched the tubing to go up into the ends up to where the trailing arm is bolted for added structural strength.

but in all honesty the front end is pretty much temporary until i can get a proper axle, i may even take the spring out of the front and weld it solid for the time being since it sits up to high mounted where it is.
