The guy showed up with the 231 tonight and 3hr later we are vibe free again. Still need to rewire the switch for the 4wd lights on the dash and find a 4wd shift indicator for the shift lever.

Will do. I have one mocked up right now and it fits like a glove. I'll have some pics tonight when I start to burn them in.

Do you put anything between the stiffeners and the body to stop water getting trapped? Looks great.

I didn't use anything because I didn't want to miss a spot and then have water trapped in with no way out. When it gets a little warmer I might try to use some sort of automotive seam sealer around all the edges. The IRO stiffeners have all the factory holes in them to match the unibody so water should find its way out.

Picked up some JKS quicker disconnects today they are beefy but I have one problem with them. If you spend 160 dollars on disco's they should have a way to store them with out running a factory front skid plate and they don't include the nuts to mount the storage post to the factory skid.
