Well things have been going slower than expected. I got the rock track ad bracket cut off and the new one welded in. It was kind of a pain just getting grinders up there to work. Then I went to install the new rod end on the track bar and it doesn't fit. I got a 7/8 rod end, but it turns out it needs to be 22mm. So after some Internet searching I found a bushing with a 22mm stud on it that should work (may need some modification to work though).

Then I removed most of the plow bracketry.

Then moved on to the front axle u joints. I got the axles out easily. But the u joints were a pain. I ended up having to cut them out and pressing out the caps.

Oh, while taking off the pass. Caliper I broke the mounting bolts, but luckily was able to get them out easily. Also while taking stuff apart I noted the brake pads were essentially gone, so I got new pads and rotors. Then the caliper wouldn't compress, so I just picked up new calipers as well.

So like I said, things are moving along slow, but hope to having her back on the road soon.
