[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 406700, member: 6317"] Long weekends are great. I just about got it back to roller by then end of today...just needs shocks or temporary supports added along with wheels and tires of course. Everything went fairly smooth even though I started the weekend being low on abrasives so I found myself squeezing every bit of life out of a flapper wheel as possible. Next step is to get under it and do some work on rebuilding the TCase mounts since the stock ones have seen better days and I had to cut the rear most passenger side mount off to clear where I installed the lower link bracket. Shouldn't be too hard...just more cutting and grinding. Started building some reinforcement plates for the frame at the upper link mounts. These also provided more surface to weld the mount to. The first one I cut out I forgot to add the section at the top where the mount sits above the frame so i had to cut another small piece and weld them together. The second plate I cut was all one piece...
