    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    Na putting it back together is simple making it work good on and off road at the same time is the hard part.

    The frame will be started tomorrow :cool:

    hey quick question staring at your frame cut, in the front bottom, there is two bolt holes were the bumper mounts, at least plate bumpers (i dont recall factory).

    anyhow, one of mine is caved in a bit. (not sure how, i didn't see any other frame damage).
    could I just cut a square out of the bottom where the holes are and weld another uncaved in there?

    that relieves me a little knowing mine isn't the only.

    it would probably be easier just to throw a plate in there and tap the correct thread?

    What are you doing bed-wise? Are you going to keep your camper shell or are you taking it all out and going to a flat bed style?

    You thinkin you'll have this wrapped up before Moab? Typically these things can take much longer but you are far from typical. I cant wait to see this thing twist up.

    I'm hoping to have it done by the end of April that's front and rear :cool:. I'm working on it 3 to 4 hours a night on week days and 12 to 14 hours on Saturday and Sunday. I'm building the frame tonight and starting on the links this weekend. I hope to have it on all fours by Monday not done just the front under it linked the steering won't be done I still need the IFS box as well as the ORI's
