Is there supposed to be a piece of flex ductwork from the squirrel cage to the white box on the right hand side? They’re both the same diameter at just a little over 4” and is that all that’s missing?

What does the flat rod next to the squirrel cage (upper left hand side) do and should something be attached to it?

Trail gear says to weld the bump stops to plate. I decided to bolt them instead.

They are a really tight fit. Get them started by hand. Could use a rubber mallet with the leaf spring against the ground. I preferred something a little more graceful and worked thwm in with some vice grips. C cpamp would probly work as well.

Don't be an idiot and just start welding/torching stuff. Make sure you protect anything that could get burnt. Last thing you want is

This part would of been much quicker with 2nd pair of hands. I spent probly 90mins setting the tubes and making sure they were square and center with the frame and front hanger as best i could. Going from side to side making sure i would be able to get both to match each other once tacked. I double checked them after each tack untill i had two tacks on both sides of the frame tube. End result, they are within a 1/32nd of an inch with each other. Took time but can say they are almost perfect.

Once the holes were done i took shop vac to get as much as i could of any loose metal/shavings out of the frame. If left they will only jist sit and rust inside the frame.

Hole saw with a right angle drill was used for the inside frame rail on passenger side. All the holes were done with the jigs tacked in place. I used 1.75" hole saw just cause it was the closest one i had size wise. Im not home to measure at moment, i believe 1.875" is the correct one. All 4 holes i went over with right angle die grinder to clean up the torch slag and just fine tune them to match the jigs.

Frame tube jig. Centered between the body mount. Used the body mount to get them close then squared them off the front leaf spring hanger to confirm. Debated using a hole saw but went with a torch for 3 of the 4 holes. Torched the outside frame rail first on passenger and drive side. The inside rail would prevent the torch from catching something on fire while i was on the other side of the frame.

Hole saw with a right angle drill was used pass insid frame rail since it is right by the gas line.

This plug connects starter relay to harness. The circled pins do not have continuity. Which is 30, and which is 87?
