Looks good!
I know it doesn't matter too much really for you, but most of the time when doing an angle on two parts (like on your 'legs' to the frame), people bisect the angle, cutting it on each part (you've got a 10* and 15*...should be 12.5* and 12.5* cuts). that way you get two surfaces that are identical and mates up perfectly (one side isn't bigger than the other like you've got it now). Basically makes a nice mating surface and welds better.

11 GA is .1196
i figured it up and they weigh approx 35 lbs. give or take a half a pound. i included an extra pound or two just in case i missed something.
.25 wall in the rectangular tubing is pretty dang heavy. 7.11 lbs per ft as opposed to the 3.70 lbs per foot of the 11 ga. dude you honestly wont have any problems with the 11. think about all those guys that have .120 wall tubed sliders and beat the **** out of them. same thickness....

A set of the sliders I sell weigh almost 70lbs.
I made a set of mixed square and round on a jeep. I really like how they came out.

Trail Gear sliders
I just bought some trail gear toyota xtra cab sliders for my super cab. they are 78" long and fit well length wise. I just have to cut some supports a little longer than what it comes with. The supplied support tube is 12" and where I want them to sit it will need 15" supports. So my local steel shop is going to cut me 8 pieces so I can MIG it up. 99.00 on sale from trail-gear.com. check it out.
