So Riley got it right, I also so told him a bit ago.

Starting on the shock hoops the weather is soposto be rather nice on Monday.
 
Got a little work done today

Made the new mounts for the bump stops

Got the passenger side shock hoop cut down and trimmed going to fit rather well.

Drivers side going to be a much more bigger deal going to be a pain in the butt really. Have to fit around the steering column, through brake lines and miss the A/C compressor all in one. Going to be very interesting.
 
Got the bump stop mounts gussets welded in and then both of them welded onto the frame.

Got a lot more figuring to do on the drivers side shock mount but it is looking more doable.

Moved my air diverter to make a bit more room for the cross bar.

Going to work on the cross bar after the tabs are in.

So spent the better part of the day doing not much.

Had a exhaust doughnut that was leaking so decided to fix it. Spent the better part of three hours fixing it. It was a pain in the butt had to pull the manifold undo the other side it was a pain.

spent the rest of the day trying to figure out where to put the shifter. About the same level of a pain in the butt. Sort of have a place kind of the only place to put it.

Removed the wiring harness from the power doors and fixed the tach.

Have to make a new spot for the radio probably going to be in the middle of the dash. Since the shifter is going to be in front of where the old spot was.
 
How much room do you have between your t-case and the skid plate? I need to build mine.
 
Not sure let me go look, I am in my jammies.

My mounts are all poly so don't think that it will move much.

Its about an inch
