Its probably not safe to drive anyway until I get my alignment. Need to do the T-case drop as well. But don't wanna take another bolt off the jeep for a while after this weekend.

Yeah, grinding, torching. Every single bolt this weekend was a royal PITA.
Even broke a 3 ton gear press trying to get the sway bar link studs out... So I returned it and got a 5 ton gear press lol. =)

It took a total of 25 hours from start to finish. Fully equipped shop, torches, grinders, welder, air everything.
I honestly don't think I've ever used all of my tools on one project until I started with this Jeep.

An extra hand or just someone to talk to, I get bored by myself lol. Also a fresh perspective on a problem is always good.
One of the reasons I like having my wife wrench on the Jeep with me, (or sit and talk to me and bring me beer while I work on the jeep) is a fresh perspective outside of the working on vehicles mentality.
We are known to get set in our ways.
