Well good news and bad news.
1. My t-case is now able to go all through all the ranges without crawling underneath to get it out of 4-lo.
2. Kev and I made some nifty little brackets to keep my mortor can from flying about in the rear of the Jeep while going down the trails.
3. Exhaust has been adjusted slightly to keep it from hitting my crossmember, I may have to heat it up with a torch and adjust it more later, but for now, it's not rubbing so I'm happy.
4. Skitzo's engine is out, however it's got more than the 1 crack as we had originally assumed was the only problem, at least the engine turns over freely making it seem as the internals are still good.
5. We never got to the brakes and hubs of Kev's K-5, so without rear brakes and possibly without any action from his front axle, that rig is out. He's going to take the shotgun seat with me as we cannot renew vows without a minister, although the temps may cause us to do it via FRS radios.
Good wrenching tonight. Thanks to all who helped get Skitzo's engine out in 1 hour including clean up. Six sets of hands makes it almost too easy. Stick around guys as we have a few more motor swaps that need to happen over there in the near future.
