Sounds good to me!
agreed I was grinding away one day and ground the top part of my hand off a little. Ironically the disc was hot enough that it cauterized it and never bled so I put on gloves and kept on going at it lol. Ever since I always grab my welding gloves. Unless im welding then they **** me off.

Very nice progress btw I am very tempted to just go ***** out and jump into my sas because of you

No pics yet, but I got the sleeves for the steering box cut and tacked to the plate. got the holes drilled in the frame for the sleeves. Didn't get much time to work on it today but I made a little progress. Plan to fully weld the sleeves when I get home from work tonight, and Hopefully I'll get the steering box mounted by tomorrow afternoon.

alright. Heres the plate for the steering box so far, sleeves just tacked in place. I'm gonna smooth the edges too so it doesn't have such huge corners, they kind of overhang the frame when its in place and it just looks sloppy.

And heres the steering box and plate just sitting in the holes in the frame, a little crooked since its not bolted up.

Will do. As it sits right now I just have the bolts that came with the box and they aren't long enough so I'll have to get some new ones.


BTW got my pitman arm today, now the only thing I'm waiting on is the brackets from Ballistic.
