    I was able to find a pitman arm from a 2wd Toyota pickup that has the taper the way I needed. I just had to "machine" the Toyota master splines (2x inny) to work on the Nissan Xterra box (4x master splines outy).

    I wish I could mess with it more. Doing a big side job for a local on here this weekend, a 63 swap on a 2nd gen. Then random stuff around the house.

    I seriously was not expecting it to come in 5 days but I couldn't just leave it in the boxes....

    Ordered a motorguard and desiccant filter so that should help out my air until I can get a better compressor that I'll do some mods to.

    Emptied my tank last night and there was at least a cup or two of water in there.

    The old guy in the machine shop was wondering how it would cut aluminum and stainless so I gave it a try.

    The stainless definitely has some what would be called sugaring in the welding world. Aluminum looks great. All of this was first cut using kind of book settings. Not dialed in by any means, I haven't done any of that just still playing with it.
