    Like to say I measured this, but it was pure luck.

    And time to finish my beer and cut up what was another perfectly good body panel.

    :thumbsup:

    And thanks for calling me out on the engine being too low. :cheers: Happy to know for sure it's in the right spot now.

    I sure as hell hope not! :lalala:

    Yep. It's not entirely back together, but good enough to go wheeling. Need to at least toss the skids back on, and aim the headlights a little bit, but I think everything else can wait.

    Very noticeable. Especially at idle and just off idle. All sorts of new rattles and sounds in the cab.

    Unfortunately worse than I anticipated, although I'm sure I'll get used to it. Almost no difference at 65 however. Only took it for a 15 minute drive so not exactly a thorough test.

    Sounds similar to the MarMount. I can loosen the bolt and not notice much of any vibrations but then the motor rotates more than I'd like.

    Stuff. Also things.
    When are you heading out, Brett?

    I still have my original OEM take offs that had little to no slop in them. I was planning on using them as trail spares, but if you need them, I can send them your way. I also have a brand new set of Moogs as well that we’re my old spares.

    Wednesday morning.

    Appreciate the offer, Jason. While they do have a bit of play, I don't believe they're about to fail. I'll run them on this trip and replace them after. Maybe check half way though and toss in my trail spares if necessary.

    No joke. It would certainly save me a lot of effort.

    I made it a season on one of mine after it started showing a little slop. Just replaced it. I really think you have to be quite negligent to pull one out of the socket.
