Im sure Jack welds it pretty well, not using too much heat, heating up the spiders and drive gear of the center, causing weakness.

Turn on the macro feature on your
camera and use more light, sheesh. If it was just welded, I know a guy with a welder who could have done it for next to nothing.

Spent about an hour soldering the stereo harness together last night, tonight is the night hopefully.

I heard some people will be stopping by, I don't have beer but I'll be starting the night with a full bottle of vodka.

lol, i called it quits a little after 9.
I made good progress, changed out axle seals, put center diff back in, got a lot of tools put away.

Today, I have to install my shift kit and then re-install the valve body into the trans, install new (used) T-case, DP, intake, gauge cluster, stereo, oh and plug in my TCU.

Then I should be driving around!!

Worked on it a little, busy day running around today.

Got the T-case & DP on, valve cover on.

I need to install the shift kit tomorrow and then its intake and interior then go time hopefully.

I'm going to watch some UFC with a good friend tonight.

Well I've been outside for about 6 hrs today, usually I've done all kinds of stuff in a time period like this, but today it was slow going.

I installed the shift kit and that's about it. Lots of springs and such was getting a little excited to be done, got the new trans filter bolted in and then wouldn't you know the knowledgeable folks at my local parts store sold me the wrong pan gasket.
Awesome, they will have a fel-pro tomorrow but I work 12 hrs at least and don't know if I'll make it up here before 9pm when they close or have power to put it on.

Still have interior stuff, intake pipe & MAS to install, then fill fluids and test drive.

Ordered my gauges today, so thats cool. With all the money I've spent and hopefully school starting next month I should be done for the year.

Its Alive!!.

well it has been since tuesday but I fucked up and did not put the shifter assembly back into the manual valve so I had to drop the pan again and valve body and put that together, more of a PITA than anything.

Car drives great, even better with teh modded TCU chip. A big thanks for JRohner on that, I want to say a remarkable member of our community makes me good to see there are still great people around and joining us.

I know I should have pics, but i promise this weekend. Also my new gauges came in today and I will be installing those tomorrow (hopefully) along with my NGK wideband that i need to pick up from MAP.

Car is a dream to drive really comfy the steering is super light, welded diff is fun.
I'm eager to hit some track days soon, like now.
