That was easy, took all but 5 minutes. I'm going to use the cats lazer vision to weld it together. Looks awesome man ...but I'm really bumping this for more Lazer Cat

I have an unfair advantage Glen, got the JK locker/Pumpkin for like 400 bucks and I'm a dealer.....for cool parts that is. If there weren't so many variables I could nail a price but a thrifty one could do it for the following; Chev front end, 100 ford front end 100 RCV's 1400 TRE's 200 balljoints 200 lock rite 450 Machine work 200 Gears 225 I was thinking 2k but 2875 is probably reality with those parts, could shave some off with a used locker but the RCV's are still what they are. Here's a little bit of progress, fighting with a flat steering angle and drastic track bar angle, will make a compromise somewhere, coil-overs will clear with no mod's I think and hope. Upside is the flat angle should work well with the travel with no bind but I'll know when I get a bracket made, and I have more clearance with the wider axle so now I have a drivers side upper control arm (it rubbed on the yoke before) just means I'll omit the passengers arm and test the limits of the Rough Country Control Arm. I only tacked on the lower controll arm brackets Mike just in case I have to change something, Laser Cat only knows 1 speed at about 250 amps, I keep him away from sheet metal.

Want me to bring my cat over for that? His laser beams cross for more welding power. You should clear coat that steering arm. ;D

Afirmative on the arm and also on the cat, didn't think there was another one out there. How did you get yours welding? I submerged mine in toxic waste, was going for one that could mix drinks, turns out it only wanted to fry stuff but whatever.

With no core to return, I think they are around $150 each. Have to make a new bracket for them, just plasma'd out and a few holes to drill.

measure twice order once....or something along these lines. A little bit too long had to trim Another 1/4 off on top of the 1/2" Alan trimmed off already. Forgiving axles, lots of spline and dosent affect warranty.
