I have a new found respect for the grinder. Unfortunately it ended my day, you would think I could control the bleeding. It seems to be different when you are the one hurting. Anyway, I went back into the garage to get some more done but it started bleeding pretty good. I am at work for the next 2 days and I hope it will heal up some. My luck we will get a good working fire and it will start all over again. Oh well, as was stated in an earlier post "Respect the Grinder!!!!!!"
told you that grinder sucks balls!!! I hate that thing! I'll get you a good one.

Thanks Dom,
Were you working Friday? I was there with OES Task force 2 at the Santa Monica Pier drill.
Sweet write up on the tranny install.

Yeah I covered one of our guys for 8 hours. Wish I'd known you were there we would've brought the pump by to say hi.
Your fab skills look great. I just started doing some welding myself and having a blast. I'll have to come by and see the project one of these days.

Hi,
Any more info on these ? Why did you pick them and have you ever seen them in action ? Any ideas on what they would be like in a DD ?

Turbo,
Rubicon Express has a website, they use these on their suspension kits. My car will see limited time on the street, but I will let you know how it works out when it is finished. I wanted more shackle movement than the conventional bushing would allow.

Okay, enough blood and guts and tales of whoa!!
Finally back into the garage and ready get something done. The dual transfer case idea will probably have to be scrapped. I installed the front t-case to see where everything is going to end up. If I continue with this I will cut out 13" out of the floor and probably have a big issue with the fuel tank
My next step is to remove the cross member, remove the rock box and bolt up the single t-case to the transmission and see how that fits up.
One last option is maybe a 1" body lift. Now I am not a fan of body lifts, but I am keeping my options open at this point.

While I am waiting for parts to arrive that I ordered, I took care of fabbing a few (4) body mounts. When I removed the rear cross member, I also lost the rear factory body mounts.
I used 1x2x.120 wall square tube. I cut them at 1 3/4" length, cut them diagonally, so I ended up with 2 mounts from 1 piece (see pics). Tacked them on until I remove the body and fully weld them.

Energy Suspension body mount kit.
sorry to be a bother, but do you remember where you got em? or a p/n?
all i can find are these guys...and i like the look of the set you've got much more
thanks,
malphrus
Hey Malph-
That's the generic Energy suspension body mount pic. The mounts you'll actually get if you order their FJ40 kit look like the ones that rockcod shows. Summit and most other on-line retailers that sell the Energy Suspension mounts show that same BS generic pic.

I have not posted in a while, the sons 40 and vacation and have taken me away from my project. I have been waiting on some parts to come in, have received my trans/t-case adaptor and will be back in the garage very soon.
You mean to say you don't have time for 2 cruiser builds and the kids summer vacation?
