Default Pic problems?

Is anyone else having problems seeing the pics? I can see them fine.

Here is an alternate place to see them: Jeep Pics

It is an index to the folder where they are stored.

No pictures unless I go to the link.

Few questions:
Why use Rivets to install versus welding, was it the limited acces you mentioned or is there a way to weld it in? Seems like welding would hold up better.
I assume you had a simialr lip design like Woods project to rivet in place.

You should make up some more and sell them to people like me who can cut out the floor and rivet it in place, but cant build the actual box

Default Welding vs riveting

We could have welded the front and sides from the inside of the vehicle but chose not to. We decided to rivet because we are men (and therefore lazy) and because we realized that there was really no way to weld in the rear so why not be consistent and use rivets all around?

As for making some up for those of you that don't have the tools, we thought of that but, well, we thought it best to leave that up to the experts. We did OK on a one-off prototype but making a kit is a different matter.
