Yet another mod done BC. Before Chris. The DOT will help me with the new trans tunnel. And they replace sheets of metal all the time.

The universal kit. It fits pretty well with a 2” standoff from the case. I have left all the threaded rod uncut for now in the chance I change some things up after the first ride. Reach, throw etc

Finished up getting the tcase mounted. Trimmed the Barnes belly pan to clear the rear link crossmember and the front driveshaft. Threw the belly pan on and it promptly filled with gear oil out of the front output seal when I filled the case…I’m a dumbass and forgot to change the seal when I changed the yoke. Got
that fixed and threw the console back in and wired in the intercom.
All that is left before the ranch is finishing the front driveshaft, hanging the belly pan again and lowering the dash bar.

TJ rear upper control arm mount? I have that same weld still on my frame. The second time it tore off, I went longarms.
Yep, factory welds from 99. They lived a good life of abuse.

Mine made it to 2003. Broke it off doing donuts on snow/ice in a parking lot near UNCC

Ordered heater hoses for a Ranger with a 5.0 with an E150 coolant transfer tube and a Mohave heater.
Comes with free magnet from RockAuto!
Ordered pressure transducers so I can eliminate external gauges. All digital.
Ordered a ton of good electrical tools. Non-insulated terminals, miles of heat shrink, conduit and a heat gun. No more Bic for me.
Like they say, the last 10% is the costliest

Cold test drive, bolt check, new dash bars. Much better visibility since I’m vertically challenged.

Made a clean room, or dirty room, to start wire wheeling the axles for my 71. The I-beem I added, made a great place to clamp the painters blanket.

What's the orange-red storage thing in the far corner of the first pic? First glance I thought it was Milwaukee Packout.

Bolt bins. I think that's what you're asking about

Tried to crank up the 6.5L after letting it charge overnight. No luck and the DieHards died. Again. I've about had it with these damn batteries and Advanced won't warranty them, the just say "let's charge them up to see if they come back"
Going to try and pull them regardless, maybe they'll warranty this time around. Anyone got any recommendations for halfway decent batteries? I would love a pair of Odysseys since I run a Group 78 in my red truck and it hasn't let me down, I damaged the old one and got it warrantied with no hassle, but I can't afford to drop $700 for a pair of them yet
