    Thinking about it... the coil over towers I got are quite large and welding them on will add some rigidity to the frame. Also I plan on using a bar in the engine bay to connect the towers, which should make for a nice support crossmember.

    I haven't gotten rid of anything. I didn't know the ABS rings were that valuable since most here have a broken ABS module. Thanks for heads up, I'll pull them off before recycling the scrap metal.

    Nice progress guys!

    I need to come hang out with you sometime soon. I'll bring beers and an amateur level of wrenching ability.

    Maybe you pros can tell me if all the new squeaks and rattles I have are lack of grease or something more serious.

    I haven't done a single off road trip this year

    Work is insane, and I have no idea where the summer went.

    Thanks for the offer Jake... a lift would be really handy when I get further along.

    It was a bummer I missed the latest meet... we should try again soon.

    Sounds good Tom, you bring the wrench... I'll provide the beer.
