Our work here is done Tonto

Well, it was quite a battle, but clean living prevailed.  We took the offending part off and Rog (jr) worked on that with the bench grinder, while I ground away on the crossbar with the pneumatic die grinder.  All to provide clearance for two bolts on the transfer case.  That took us till lunch; then we went sight seeing until Rog had to go to work.

Here is everything in its proper place.  We could feel the balance returning to the Force as the last bolt was torqued down.  Sure hope it runs as good as it looks.




It's time to move on; tomorrow we head for the Jack Daniels distillery.
