    I was able to do all the front end work on the ground, but I have to say the having a friend with a lift was a game changer! Ive done my share of bench pressing my old Ranger Tranny. Gotta button up the exhaust and drive shaft and its done! Rewarding is a great feeling, been kicking the parts around the shop fro too long. Thanks for your help and your Thread!

    Nice re- work on the cross member!! Helps i do fab work for a living and had plenty of ideas like your guys to get a start. Waiting on the drive shaft now. We carefully drove it off the lift in front wheel drive, so that shit works!!

    Dont be fooled though, it took us two trys to get the height right and stab in the Tcase. Kept running into the tunnel and chopped it back apart. We struggled with the shifter as well. Ill toss some more pics up when i get bk to the shop>
    Nice work felas, appreciate the help! Almost part of the club!

    I bench pressed the transfer case, sketchy af because I had no spotter, so I had to position and thread a bolt at the same time. Good times for sure!
