Not a lot accomplished today , but its coming together.I got the other shock all completed , ran the brake line , just have to figure out how I am going to clip it to the frame now.No point using the stock clips as the fuel lines I am using won't fit in there <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> and a waste to use them for one brake line.I also took the steering hoses and stuff off the other frame and transfered to this one.I guess the next step is to get the motor into the back yard and put on the frame.That should be interesting.I have to take it from the back shop , through the alley , around the house , and through the back yard <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> Other than that , theres a few things I can do , like a few broken bolts have to be removed for putting the skid plates on , theres a couple bolts that aren't holding properly on the bumper , they won't tighten down all the way , so will have to replace those , and I still have to bolt the middle of the hitch down to the frame , and also the midle bolt area of the bumper I need to fab something up to fill the space between the back crossmember and the bumper so I can bolt that down there 2 , so that 8 bolts will hold it down , and a total of 10 for the hitch.

As for the fuel cell and lines , I am having the cage built for it , should be ready soon , then I can start running the fuel lines and stuff.I still have to get my transfer case fixed on that one hole that was bent , I think a machine shop should be able to handle that , redrill it and tap it.I don't have the proper stuff to do a precision job like that , and I don't want to ruin the bolt hole.

I also took the exhaust off the engine , only a couple parts I will be using , if I don't decide to just get new stuff.From just behind the O2 sensor , after it joins into one pipe is all new 2 1/4 , and new flowmaster , so will fix that all up and get it fit in there.I played around with it a little today , and it doesn't seem to sit how I want , so I might have some custom stuff done to it to make it fit the way I want and sit a little better.Right now it sits pretty close to the leaf springs , and the hitch.Once I get the fuel cell in there , I'll see what I have for room and how I can run it better.
