This is why they invented reciprocating saws.
Only time I have to do that is if it is cross threaded.
To add to it, I took my truck apart with hand tools.

got her back on the road today, installing front springs and welding on the front bumper tomorrow, having a/c lines made this week, then flushing and charging the system. while i'm at it, building a winch cradle and painting the bumpers.

I've done some fixing, a few upgrades ,that sawzall thing has come in handy removing unwanted sheet metal .but its almost ready to come out of the garage and play ,will probably do small crap before moab no major stuff in the summer. we booked the big horn lodge again this year we get in Tuesday and leave the following Monday ,now i have to pick the trails thats the hard part choices choices choices
Any progress Wade?
Got the front end patched back together. More gussets to keep the frame from moving. Has a new clunk in the steering when the wheel is rocked side ro side. Need someone in the seat so I can listen under the truck.
Ordered poly engine and trans mounts. Trans is sheared and the captured engine mounts are destroyed. So bad the fan ticks on the bottom of the fan shroud. Trying to get it together for a may 3rd run.

new springs have added a few things to the list. driveline needs work, pitman arm needs to go and might have to do something with the shocks.
Glad to hear you are at it, any pictures?

You finally doing something with those housings I gave you?
got a lot to do.
Whew. I'm tired just looking at it all...
It's a roller.
Thank you.
i got a quick little test run in on Daisy, figured out a couple things that need to change before moab. the front shock mounts need to change, the transmission cooler is getting replaced and the exhaust needs to be rerouted a little.
the lower shock mounts are getting redone tomorrow, i built new ones.
the front driveline is getting a little too cozy with the exhaust so i've got to re route the passenger side pipe around the front of the oil pan.
