A quick update from a weekend of work by Crusty, Gil, Brian and Toby:
Starting Saturday, we upgraded the torsion bars , fabricated new rear bump stops and shock tower supports and welded them in place. On Sunday we removed, inspected, repacked and re-installed the CVs. Pulled the spare engine, removed the pressure plate and removed and inspected the the flywheel (all good). We also got the alternator light working again, wired the night lights into the new gauges, wired in the winch, and cleaned/rewired the headlight harness (including the markers). We also I spent some time replacing funky looking connections and other janky things, but this is an ongoing process.
And, earlier today, I drove seven hours and delivered our spare transmission to Scott Sebastian of MetalCraft for a refresh.
Much more to come…
