For now though, it's still supported by the end mounts and the rear roll stop though.


Thank you sir. To save a few, I have a nice never used 4x4 laying around.

Progress continues. It's slow. I keep pondering an AC delete. Summers are getting hotter, and I am getting older. I also get distracted by a small rust spot, so I wire wheel it and rust check it. Anyway...

Tranny drained.

Rad Removed. Spilled coolant from lower rad hose. I always forget the lower rad hose.

Here is that welded rebar I keep talking about. Only thing holding up that center member.

Engine bay getting empty. (room to clean!)

So tomorrow, I need to pick up a 32mm socket. Time to tackle the removal of axles.

Question of the day.
Once I am done with tranny removal and fix of clutch / flywheel / tranny. I will NOT be able to put the center member back up. From what I see, it's only function is for the front engine mount and protect the tranny. Will I be ok to drive to the body shop without center member put back?
