Happy IDI'er
Jason, I am sorry I missed out. By the looks of your to do list, I may get my chance to help before your build is done. So, where's Corey going next weekend?

no pics but i finally decided to get a bit motivated and get something done for a change and go figure....it started raining. well im working outside so i didnt get as much done as i would have liked.
I did manage to get the front fuel tank and skid plate removed, rear tank is ready to come out. I just have to remove the rear bumper and hitch to get it out.
all the rear chassis harness is removed along with all the plastic fuel lines and rear brake lines. next up is remove the rear bumper and hitch, rear shocks and start lookin at what im doing with the engine, trans, and t-case to get it out of the frame.
my goal is to have the frame sandblasted so i can paint it before i start re-assembly
