the right lower created a small clearance problem. thus the hillbilly fix.:eek:

and finally workin up the courage to begin the next phase which included sectioning the frame. if look close the frame was compromised at the point skid mounted.

not a problem on the t-case. it is tucked away on a shelf for you.



i was worried about frame rot on mine as well, but it looks solid for now. are you going to have to cut out a whole section of the frame or can you just cut and weld a small patch?

i cut out the bottom + about a 1/2 in up the side rolled a piece & stuck it in . 1st one was where the oem lower bracket was. then right side where the t-case mounted. that 1 was tricky as i had to add fasteners & make them line up.:banghead::dance2: musta messed up cause it worked the 1st time.:cheers: i'll get the pics up of this soon

and some test flex. the first 1 show rear stuffed. lots of rear steer. have to address that when we do the rear.

http://www.michiganwheelers.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=161&pictureid=1330

then the front. this pile was approx 4 ft. you can see it it relationship to the barn.
