A quick early week update

Yes, this is a stout build no doubt about that.

Yesterday #wheeling_with_willy did about 8 hours of welding and adding a lot of gussets.

The last remaining brackets, limit straps, and a replacement link to now have a aluminum spare in place of the steel one we had planed on were ordered.

Also got a carrier bearing for front drive shaft ordered. The drive shafts should be completed by Thursday morning and ready for installation on Friday morning. We are modifying the stock drive shafts for now until the Atlas install. Therefore we have to change Toyota flange to the 1410 on the input side of each.

Shock towers should be delivered today or worst case tomorrow as they are coming from Barnes which is only a few hours away. The rear is already cut and ready for installation of the towers. The front position was determined on Saturday and will sit just in front of the master cylinder on driver side and my compressor install on the passenger side. So our preemptive removal and relocation plan for the fuse block and washer fluid seems good. So now fuse block will go where original batteries were installed and the air box front passenger where the washer fluid was. Some of the steering components may also go in this area, for example the steering fluid reservoir just behind head light and in front of the air box keeping a very short and straight path to the steering pump.

Gas tank was also ordered yesterday from someone local and it will be delivered today. We were going to go with an 18 gallon tank but settled on a 16 gallon tank. The 16 is wider and less deep so better clearance in the back. It will be tucked between the frame rails with a skid plate under it. Finally a bracket to install the Howe steering pump was designed and should be cut this morning.

Speaking of clearance, in the next step or two we will cut the back bumper
and rear of frame and build a tube bumper to further increase clearance.

It's going to be a lot work between now and next Tuesday night but I have sourced a 24' trailer and we are committed to take it to ATR regardless. The wildcard is going to be the front RCV's. I will know on Thursday the status of them.
