Isaac, I bought it from a guy here on mud. I think he said it was a kit that he put together.
I took a close look at lunch. There is a horizontal crossbar that is about even with the dash pad. I think I could cut the tubing below the crossbar and move each side inboard enough to get the doors to close. The upper part does not interfere with the upper part of the doors/windows, so it can stay put. I may have to bend the bottom section that I cut off to regain some leg/foot room.
What is a good method of busting a weld? I was thinking of using a pencil grinder with a cutoff wheel, then a 4" grinder to clean off the old weld.

That would work or the grinder with a cutoff wheel works good too.

What did Mike said it all needed? I would have thought about $150 or so for the ring & pinion set and another $50 for the bearings and install kit. Labor $150

Now you know you can run some 37/38's only bad thing is its a weaker gear set.

Isaac, Donny is a great guy. He spent about 2.5 hours getting the front squeezed down and tacked up. I can close the doors now! I don't think he was expecting that much of a job, but he dove right in. Thanks!

You can't always tell them exactly what they are getting into. It was very easy for me to type 10 digits on my phone but you are welcome none the less. Donny is a great guy and will soon be a member of our club with a nice welding shop and a great place for wrenching sessions. He is going to build some ramps at that loading bay door area so he can pull trucks inside. I talked to him this morning and he said it didn't come out as great as he would have liked it to, but I hope you are happy.

Isaac please ask Donny if he needs an application for TLCA/BSCLA as I can get one to him. Just have him or you send me a PM.

I'm happy with it. I think a metaltech cage will stay on my wishlist, but this fix ill do for awhile. I am going to try to get it finished sometime soon. The 40 is taking up alot of time and energy lately.
