Quick update...

Cage is still just tacked together. Sliders are done as are the cage frame tie-ins. Trimmed the rear finders...just a bit:

Power steering is done for the most part. Need a couple of fittings to get the hoses in place. AFI is well underway. New alternator in, new belts on, oil and filter (oil pan not leaking yet), radiator, and other miscellaneous stuff in the engine compartment :

Front bumper is being worked out now...that's where we left off tonight. I'm eager to get it on and get the winch bolted in to see how much the extra weight up front helps level it out.

The usual big thanks to Jrob and Bodean. These guys worked like mad men the past few days...a LOT of hours spent in the shop since Wednesday night.
 
How you gonna paint the sliders? Damn I miss one day...
 
That oil pan will NOT leak!

Great progress guys.
 
You three are awesome. I live 2 miles away and ate, drank and hung out at firepit all weekend. #fail
 
How you gonna paint the sliders? Damn I miss one day...

We primed and painted the tops of the sliders and the frame tie in pieces before welding them in (per your tip Saturday night). The rest should be easy to get to.
 
Throttle body adapter, air filter, and filter housing all came from Downey.

I thought Downey closed up shop? Can you still order that stuff, cause I would much rather have that then my fast and furious set up.
