All I could see is a small hammer on the floor in one of the pics a larger hammer will make it easier you know one that takes two hands. (double jack is the tech term) :)

thanks.

still have a ton to do but its starting to come together. I'm going to be chopping the core support area out to put a bigger aluminum radiator in, to make room to make my fan a puller.

I'm going to pull the orbital valve off and weld the frame up in that area, clean off all left over bracket parts from when I was coil sprung with my plasma (only so close my cut off wheel could get).

Weld the shock towers to the frame, mount the bumpstop cans.

rip all of the stock wiring out of the driver side of the inner fender. Re run my front brake hard lines, and put on new retainers.

As for the engine, I ordered new headers, new valve springs, roller rockers, and a moates chip.

I'm replacing my hopped up Vision pump for a new PSC pump, supposed to dramatically increase my steering speed.

got a few more things done tonight.

Slowly but surely.

I know I said nearly 2yrs ago, hopefully this never bites me in the ass... but it did, so I fixed it. Couldn't get the cover off with the ram guard mounted that way, so I put this tube splice thingy in:



Pulled winch out:





started mocking up where I need to cut to make room for this:

I know I'm slow as hell on work lately, been working on my tow rig, which takes precedence because its my DD as well..





here you can see how much further back it sits vs the old seats...










New headers





I also got a valve spring kit, and I'm ordering up an SCT.
