Trying to work as quick as possible without fucking up is hard.. Sorry for the French, but shit is getting down to the wire for this year and I'm on my own..
I was able to correct the crossbar for the xmember Artec 4 link bracket, which was ground off and re-tacked. Now it sits as it should and proper. All lengths are measured out to the decimal, I can sleep better at night
Going forward, "thought" I did a pretty awesome job getting the mid skid plate all mandrel bent, cut and tacked...
Here are some pics of me failing..
After talking with Scott @sunfireoffroad he helped me see clearly though the "just wanted it to be done" , fighting for ground clearance is more important than ever.. Thinking that I could live with that as is, I couldn't.. So.. Dissatisfied, I scratched it all and started it again, man I was down.. For 2 days.. Just plain pissed off..But, it was for the better. After some more time I came up with a better solution..
I took a break from trying to perfect the mid skid, so I went back to remembering I still needed to cycle the rear axle. Here are some fun pics of success!
More to come!!
