Conduit is very thin walled and will not take the stress---where you make a weld is where the week spot becomes ---It will break at the weld! Conduit was not designed for stress loads as .083 wall-.095wall[most used] and .125 wall tubing. I use all three depending on where I need the most strength.

money talks dont it tanner. share the love buddy. o ya i finsihed up my safety net and o shit bar

i would watch what you mount around your knees and how close just in case of a roll over could be hard on the knees. lookin good you got a lot done.

I am by no means an expert on air bags but you might want to move them further back from the pivot point.
Someone else might know if this is correct for sure. They look pretty close.

got alot done this weekin got my arms and rear suspention done!! and im back rollin so i cant move the thing

Tanner, looking good, keep up the good work. One suggestion, on your fuel cell, I would suggest changing out the filler cap. Thoes flush filler caps do and will leak water into the tank. If water can get in gas can get out. They make a raised filler neck and different lid that is much better.

You might want to mount the radiator a little lower so you can see over it when you are backing up. It would make it easier if you had to back down a hill. Just a suggestion.
