i work in a body shop so i have a plethora of welders at my disposal. lol

i looked and they are way to big to fit through the openings on the lower bumper valance. so i will probably just remove that and i might end up having one of my guys weld them directly onto the frame rail ends.


also decided today i am going to make some leaf spring shackles tomorrow and crank my t-bars and lift it up a little bit and then build a body lift next week while i am on vacation.

I just welded it to the square metal rod that normally fits inside that plastic handle. Worked great for a while there.

I'll probably fix that at some point in the future. Not motivated at the moment.

today i installed my tranny mount. What a pita. i forgot the mount moves 1/8" and you have to pull the engine/tranny back to get it set in the hole. took me 2 fkin hours.


good part is,no more idling vibrations or 3rd gear clunks.old one fell apart. The steel base of the old one had cut grooves in the trans tail. hence the vibration. glad i got to it.

A friend has a lux meter, so we're going to compare them to genuine Rigids. I'll keep everyone posted.
