I too find this fun. Let’s not slip down a rabbit hole on bananas
Really?

Yep
I’ve worked big airplanes for “many years”, cracks will happen no matter the engineering effort. All materials we build with flex. Flex is necessary and the reason cracks appear and the reason magnifying glasses will endure.
That's probably aluminum bro. Steel has a near infinite fatigue life by comparison
Too good.

I was able to pull the fuel filler back and flatten it a bit for clearance to avoid a complete relocation.

Today i set my rear pinion angle, which i can do because of the arms i built. I had a 6 degree difference between the t-case output and the rear diff. I took 3 degrees out by shortening the uppers and the other 3 by lengthening the lowers. Now i dont have any horrible roaring noise on deceleration..
I also added some lights to the hatch for an upcoming camp/wheeling trip. I also made and installed some quickie bump stop extensions to help keep the rear tires out of the body until i can get around to cutting the body again. I added some homemade spring retainers to keep the rear coils from falling out on the trail. I modified and reinstalled my swing arm and tire carrier..
