    Got the front adapters machined and threw on the big meats on all 4 corners.. Gonna have to adjust the steering stops a lil but otherwise they seem to fit ok, wasnt flexed out the best so it may rub here and there. Also got a set of brand new g2 chro mo front axles and birfs from the mud...

    Spent yesterday in the garage and managed to get some jobs off the list that keeps growing. After getting the 6 to 8 lug adapters for the 60 back from machining I found them to be a little tight on the hub so I made the hole a little bigger and they fit mint now. That done I dropped the tranny...

    Couple shots of the 60. Added a tube and some gussets to the front bumper, rebuilt the transfer case, added a couple tubes to the back bumper to tie it in to the frame behind the rear tire, new rear leaf packs/bushings went on and threw some led head lights on it. Gotta give it some love now...

    Front already has bump stops and I made them adjustable so im good there. The rear might get a set but it all depends if they rub bad. A little rubbing just lets you know youre running the right size tires lol. D

    Randy jumped in with me yesterday and we went out for a rip to Peeties to mess around with the 40 again. I had bent up my spare transfer case lever couple days ago to get it away from the passengers leg so it got swapped in. Cant really tell without the seats in but it does look to be a lot...

    Thanks, but not quite done yet. Went out to Petes again yesterday and got some crap done while he was doing his electrical surgery.

    Couple pics of the 40 at petes place. Went for a rip out there yesterday and got both transfer case braces installed, the front drive shaft put back it and the skid put back on. Had to rip out the interior and the gas tank to get at the tranny hump to put the top brace on but 75% of that stuff...
