I can always add a torsion axel afterwards if it becomes an issue. We shall see.
I (Mechanical Engineer 40+ years) have to agree with CarlinaQ, HUGE oversight. I was actually shocked to see that pic. Had to go back and look again to make sure I had seen what I had seen. I strongly suggest you put springs on it before you go any further. The torsion bars will be little better with the loads you will have. You will probably have to add shock absorbers with them. OK, going quiet on this topic now.I can always add a torsion axel afterwards if it becomes an issue. We shall see.
The box design came from a fellow brethren (thatswhatshesaidbbq) and he got the design from a jambo pit design. So I did more looking and finally seen some goods pics if the jambo and off I went. I insulated for better heat control and also for safety during tailgate parties.
The insulation is fiber wool board. It came from a place in Springfield MO. Pretty cheap I thought so that's what I went with it has a 2000° melting point. It's 2" thick.
Yeah I have gotton crucified over the whole solid axel thing but I'll take care of that at a later date.
Thanks for looking and if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
Where in Springfield? That is in my general radius.
Thanks
And yes I do have a set of springs on the way for the axel!!
