Looks like I may be doing steering on Leahs MJ before the event too. If I get everything in time, I'll be swapping the Rustys crossover that is on there now out for Rock Krawler steering.

We'll see....

My stupid front skid plate wont go back on around my steering brace and I had a fix for a bit and had it mounted to the frame rail, but it kept clunking on the sway bar, now i dont know how the hell to put it back on. With the skid in the stock position i cant get the bolts off for the steering brace. I am thinking the only thing i can do now is weld a bracket to it and put it somewhere else, any ideas...

how the brace mounts.

how the skid was mounted

Got the remainder of the frame plating & repair done yesterday, springs & shocks back in, front suckdown winch installed & operational. I have the new radiator and just gotta put the front clip back together, and we should be good to go. Plenty of other things I'd like to do before the trip but that's all that really needs to be done.

Didn't get the rest of my steering last Friday, so it looks like the Rustys is gonna have to survive another adventure.

Man, you guys are dropping like flies.... COME ON!! Bring the DD down, I'm sure you can find a shotgun seat!!!

If everybody keeps bailin' out at the last minute, that just means I will have a better chance of winning that rear bumper. Hope everyone can find a way to make it out to the event. C-YA there !!!
