Good progress man! I'll bet you're glad to be getting back to it. Love those wheels... Black Rock?

ordered:
np231 seal/ gasket kit
plug ends for welding extension cord and adapter for 240v power
oil pan and valve cover gaskets, rear main seal since i'm in there
boostwerks shift linkage. hoping I don't have buyers remorse since really, I could make it myself.
h.d. offroad no lift relocation brackets

debating the WJ steering swap since I need new hubs anyway, and better brakes and steering would be nice with 33's. but so much $$$ in one shot, especially when I do stuff like whats in the pictures below.

Picked this up yesterday.

Turned on the welder for a few minutes to start on my welding table/ mig cart. Here are a couple pictures of my first ever welds ever with the new machine. I know I need more practice.

Here is a quick upside down mock-up of the welding table/ mig cart I am building. It will be pretty simple. I am only about 1/3 done. Hope to finish it this week.

Nice. I thought those were black lug nuts I saw... guess my eyes aren't as bad as I thought.
