Lookin crazy Seth!!!
I would clean up everything in the back of that jeep (pic #3), before it all flies out
Btw, I got my tranny mount from 4WP on Sat! They blew everyone away on price, and got it to me sooner than they said! It was an easy install too

Nice work mang ...you're a braver man than me with a torch ,and the unibody's 16g shyt metal I pussed out last two times , and sent my Heep to crawlertech , which is a shame since I own some very nice fab tools , but keep sending it out in fear of crappy welds doing 1/4 plate to 16 guage ...But your build is inspiring me to atleast buy another bender and do my own cage instead of my latest downward trend of paying people to build my Jeep for me . Holy Crap, I've become the guy I hate on the trails with a shop built rig ...
