Finished up the rear bumper. I still haven't figured out why when the ignition key gets turned on I get 8 volts sent to the brake light circuit. I will deal with that issue later.

Sold my old front and rear bumpers. I am committed now to having to build a new one.

Then I started on my new lower link mounts/ transmission mount/ skid plate. My goal is to make the bottom of the truck smoother and thus easier to slide over rocks. At some point I came down hard on the passenger frame and bent it up between my lower link mounts and the skid plate. I did the same thing on my 86 ranger as well. Hard to see but it goes up about a 1/2" in the middle of the speed square.

Here is part of the driverside mount. I added some angle in the mounts to help the Johnny Joints work at a better angle.

Here it is mocked up on the frame rail.
