Fill transmission, transfercase, & engine with oil

Here is what is left until I take it on the test trail:
Build shock mounts & install shocks

And this is just BS stuff:
Weld tow bar mounting brackets
Buy and mount spare tire

[MiniSimp]

The only day I get to work on it this weekend is Saturday:



Saturday 4 
Few Showers
High 55°F
Low 29°F
Precip:   30%
Details - Few showers. Highs in the mid 50s and lows in the upper 20s.

I'm hoping for very few showers, it sucks to weld in the rain (at least for Dave it does )

[*** YELLER ***]

Well your right there ol' buddy  'cause Dave don't weld in the rain   MINI DAVE
but if we (me) weld in front of the truck and not under in the back where the rain is then it should be ok

[MiniSimp]

We'll (you'll) be welding in the middle, so get out your princess pad! I'll be there around 8am.

Did you move that blue heap yet?

[*** YELLER ***]

I can't use my princess pad   'cause you left it out in the rain   you      and if you keep calling it a princess pad there will be no welding  you welding chalenged  8am is pretty early for you ain't it.

[MiniSimp]

Ok, maybe 8:30 after Starbucks

You see welds that perfect should only be done when it is dry

[*** YELLER ***]

just a taste of what has been done

[whiteman]

Awsome    I remember some one made a comment on your frame mounts ripping off, I think you will be fine and I may hav the problem.
Since I am welding the 1/2" platform to the frame I have some .188 flat bar that I may use between my frame and cossmember platforms, to try and give added strength to the frame.  I have been worried abut it ripping out under stress.
