OP
@Alex01 , Daylight Savings is the 10th, so I think anytime after that so we have more daylight. Maybe the 23rd weekend?

OP
I'll talk to the boss later tonight and see if I can get away with it. I'm still hoping to find time to run up to your neck of the woods and have you weld on those extensions. Maybe after its done we can throw yours on the rack and tackle some of the parts you have laying around.
Did you see how strumble8, with the help of jjvw and tworley, raised his?

Looks pretty simple.
OP
While that looks very functional, it looks like crap, lol! Not sure what they used for the filler piece. I also wonder, did they have to remove the fender to cut that in half?
The weld certainly doesn't look clean. But I bet if they would have ground the edges a bit it would have looked much better.
I'm going to get my dial caliper out this weekend and measure the thickness of the mount and see what it is.
Judging from the hint of over spray on the fender I would say it stayed in place. I would assume they used an angle grinder to make the cut.
OP
I'm in. Ill head up early the 23rd and wheel all day.
@tomtaylz you have a deadline now for testing.
OP
I think that's his goal, to have it done by Holister for a test run before Moab.
OP
Yes it did. Put the catilytic converter back on too since it was up on the rack. Got tired of the check engine light coming on all the time and having to clear it. Use the Samurai on the ranch for hunting now. Greased all the zerk fittings, checked all fluids.
As lowranger said getting it done before Hollister is the goal. I would really like to have the jeep on it before taking it to Moab. I don't think it will be to bad of a job just time consuming. To bad your not closer since I'll need to get about 2 inches per side of weld burned in to hold it back together. I'm assuming I can run it down to the local exhaust shop and have them do it.
