New transmission, just need to unbolt it from the 305. Getting it out of my truck was interesting. Nothing a my TJ, winch, snatch block and tree couldn't handle.

Coilovers?

How set are you on coilovers? I'm in the works of a 1ton cj7 also but my plans are different then yours but I might be able to give you some good info before you make a final decision on suspension!

I'm pretty set but I'm always open to more information.

Look into ORIs if I was doing a 4 link or 3 link I would go for them! They are more stable visit their page an read up on them! I found out a lot of the rock bouncer guys run them an note they are pricey but some coil overs don't come with everything you need like some are just the shock it's self an you got to buy the spring for however heavy your rig is an the ORIs are ways to tune!

Artec trusses are pretty beefy

Are you warming up the housing or just cold welding it?

I'll preheat and insulate the housing. Don't want to chance it cracking.

Cut a lot of the casting off, there's still more to go. The passenger side is almost completely cleaned off.

So jealous of your cast cutting adventures! I really am jealous of your time off though. Someday I'll take a wrench to one of my jeeps again. [emoji20]

I'll save some cast for you. Just remember it gets better after ORSE...

It'll make its way to Harsh customs at least once or twice.

The passenger side is finished. A lot of grinding. I'll work on finishing the driver side tomorrow.
