The material for the new foot plate came in today. I'll have to wait until I go to work to get started turning it in the lathe. I ordered a piece of 6061 aluminum, 8 1/4 diameter by 3 1/4 length. It should be stronger than the old cast plate.

Thanks, I'm glad I had those classes too. It definitely came in handy for the transfer case flange, I can use the adapter plate and transfer punch the hole for that flange.

While I'm waiting for the next day to go to work, I started getting the spare tire mocked up to build the spare tire carrier. There should be enough space to go up to 40's once these tires are worn out.

It's looking good. Closer and closer to being drivable. Note how I didn't say finished...haha.

Made some progress on the tire carrier. I welded up some flanges to make the carrier removable. I only had parts with a 2" ID and I'm using 1 3/4 tubing. I welded some 2" and will slide them onto the 1 3/4".

Thank you. That aluminum isn't as big any more, u have it chucked in the lathe at work. It's too bad, I really liked it as a heat sink for welded parts. Thinking about getting a large plate for that reason.

The carrier is done. Really like the Baja look and how the Y strap looks too.

Looking good. If I had time and skills like that it'd be a fun project to do.

Hopefully all the turning is done on the new foot plate. All that should be left is drilling the bolt holes.

Got the bolt hole pattern drilled for the transmission adapter plate. I used a 3/8 x16 tap with a point as a center punch to transfer the holes from the adapter plate. Since none of the holes on both sides of the flanges are uniform, transferring on this side was the easiest. On the other side, all the holes share a radius but transferring isn't an option. I had to make a drawing on the hole pattern.

Finished welding in the orbital valve support. I cut out the tire carrier and added some parts to make it removable. The only thing left to do on it is to burn it in. Ran out of c25 so I'll have to TIG it in.
