Here are some quick pics of the progress. Its been going real slow due to watching my son who has been off of school, and not being able to get to the store for supplies due to weather.
Front cross member is done. Its welded to the frame, bumper and bolted to what is left of the old cross member. I have the shackle hangers welded up and will weld them on when I get the rear leaf hangers on.
The notch where the rear leaf hanger will go. This week I ran out of cut off wheels, which I got today. After about 10 minutes of cutting my angle grinder stops. The brush on one side is done. Maybe if I can get more than 10 minutes at a time cutting I can get it notched the rest of the way.
After I have the frame notched I need to cap it with some 3/16 steel, then weld on the spring hangers. The axle is stripped and waiting for the leafs to be installed on the jeep so I can see where the perches need to go. Then shock mounts....
