Sounds like a party!

Will do buddy!

Mr. Duke.... howdy brotha!

Just creepin.......

Definitely brotha! Hopefully have the truck back together this weekend!

Lol yea, I don't know what I did wrong, gotta go back and edit the post. In the meantime, it's just more to look at.

And a few after shots of the fix and DMZ gussets burned on... pretty damn pleased with how they turned out.

Haven't read the last 20 pgs or so. Maybe this isn't new. Tw is blocking every link I try to send to a new guy.... censorship for real. Can't even write ifsoffroad without it getting scrambled.... jesus fuck! They are butt hurt mother fuckers.

Diff is out, steering shaft is out, everything that could be removed is removed. Crack is all v notched out and ready for welding. Everywhere the gussets will be welded on is cleaned of all its paint. She's ready for for repair and ready for these sexy DMZ gussets....

It only takes one to start the downward spiral....

Yea , I struggled for awhile. Had play in everything but it wouldn't move. Took the bolts completely out and it almost fell into my hands.

Here are some pics of the problem area. This is where the motor mount is welded to the frame on its lower portion. It's fairly even and sitting correctly right now so you can only see the crack.

Fyi for anyone removing their steering shaft... remove the entire bolts. You can't just loosen them because they ride in a groove on the shaft. They need to be completely removed for them to slide off ther splines.

Well, gusset kit got here today, it's fucking gorgeous! It's just gussets but damn! DMZ for the mf'n win! I have the front diff out, lower steering shaft out and everything that goes with all that. Big thanks to @Brindybot for the help! I probably would have broke a rib taking that diff...

Fuck you front diff.... fuck you....

Lol honestly... I think she's ridiculous. I wish she never came to AZ. She likes to stir the pot and not take responsibility.

I was going to do the solid motor mounts and solid transmission mount since I had her apart but he's a few weeks out. If your not busy this weekend come over and we can take a look. I braced my trans mount with 1/4" front, back and bottom. It was already cracking so we just plated the fuck...

Should have gone with the camel tat on the big toe....

Any pics? If it was repaired before it might be fine. Also, you should check your transmission cross member. It's the other place that was prone to failure for the early frames
