| Thats about all. The biggest worry should be the rear ujoint. it acts like it doesn't have any needle bearings in it at all it is so loose at the one cap. the other thing is the loose bolt on the skid/transfer case mount. the passenger side has one missing and one loose, the drivers side has one pulling through. Might be able to just drill new holes and tap into the frame. Yeah my head is still aching but not bleeding. Couldnt rest it on a pillow due to teh location of the knot. oh well it was a good day of wrenching. that car is like a rocket, nice and thanks again. | |

| I had the same thing happen with my skid plate bolts...i guess not an uncommon thing with the welds breaking from the factory. I should have taken pictures of the fix...we used an air chissel and chisseled out the factory inserts then took a piece of straight steel and welded nuts on it. After that they fit into the frame in the factory location and the whole piece was welded onto the frame. It wasn't an easy job but it's a great fix. The other side of mine has to be done yet, so for now i just have the same piece of steel just bolted in between the skid and frame to keep it even. | |

| They break a lot on all models apperntly... I remember the Gon run when Von had to weld Matt's plate back on for the bolts... Hmmm... how come they have skid plates for body mounts, but not t-case skid bolts? crap... nobody heard that thought out loud I hope... at least not before I can patent it. | |
