It's a big pile of dumb.
I have to make a longer pushrod for the slave cylinder, as I can't get the clutch to fully disengage.
Also, the NP435 to D20 adapters are leaking...pretty bad. I've already lost probably half a quart just driving around the yard. I'm going to take it apart over the course of this week and make some gaskets out of gasket paper, and throw some RTV grey on them again as well. Hopefully that solves that.
Tomorrow I'm going to try to pound out some seat mounts though, and if I have time I'l take some more pics of brake lines and stupid stuff.

What the hell was that, driving miss daisy? Come on, that was painful. I would say that was some of the worse driving I've seen, but your name isn't Ross so that's all good.

Didn't you say you needed an engine stand?

Got some pictures to go along with an update.
I've been beating the crap out of myself in order to GSD, and today it finally hit me when I went to prop one of my seats into the MJ. I pulled a shoulder muscle pretty nicely. I forced myself through the rest of the day, but only got one seat mount done.
Trans tunnel is plated with 14ga, and everything else is either 1.5 x .125" square or 1.5 x .125" angle.
Also, Carmelo and Adam did a great job on the brake lines. I basically only welded a couple bolts onto the axles, and bent one small hardline. They handled the rest and did a great job. Carmelo also helped bleed the brakes. Hydroboost is AMAZING. That's all I have to say.
I still have to finish a pasenger side seat mount, as well as get the on-board air setup and fix the monster leak between the t-case adapters. I just used RTV Grey last time, this time it's gasket paper with RTV Grey on both sides. I'll get that handled this week/weekend hopefully. Theoretically I could probably wheel Sunday, but I still don't have a trailer. The new axles/tires should be arriving either this week or next

Thanks guys! Travis I just might take you up on that, but isn't yours a 7k trailer? I'd feel bad overloading it.
