I had to purchase a mig and plasma cutter to keep this thing wheeling and prevent it from a complete disaster.

My frame was toast, my crosmebers were literally hanging by a thread and dog eared (especially the t case and tranny one). Similar issue w idler area, etc. Went through three stock sets of skid bars/plates, etc.

H1 after harder wheeling, dents in the front of the control arms, thats it.

Both eat idler and pitman arms each trip and require allignment.
