Now that I have the engine installed and the second case done I'm going to try and fix the front bumper and build my own.

I'm going to use this as a base and see what I can bend up for front protection. When I gets in I'll post pics of the progress... Hoping to have it in this week and be cutting and bending this weekend...

The top is a factory front leave... the bottom is my conglomeration!
To build it I used 2 factory rears... one from a 87 and one from an 83.
I should net about 4.5 " of lift when all is said and done including the shackles and new front mount. I also halfto pull down the sets I just built and wire brush, paint, put new bushings in, drill and place limiters, and replace the center pin with a new one.
