Where did you get the 11.5' receiver tube from? I'm working on doing something similar myself but I haven't been able to find it myself.
a local steel shop called Alcobra Metals. I'd just do a google search for Metal distributers in your area. they actually provided all the metal (minus the alum trim) and even cut it into specific lengths for me. I did this so the cuts were for sure square and exact. I did end up triming some down but they definitely saved me some time (but it was an upcharge)

Thanks, that helps a lot. Nice job on the build!
