Well it's in. Very exciting for me, the tummy tuck has been my goal since I really started reading these forums over a year ago it's awesome to finally be there!

I still need to do the MML before I can put in the engine skid and then dial in control arms and cycle suspension with all the new crap I put in, but it's still exciting.

Now, for the first time in a long time, I don't have a set path on what's next. Maybe armor, maybe the regear is next, maybe some other QOL stuff? So many choices!!
Looks great! My OCD also sees some other work that is needed there! ;)

Mehhh cleaning and painting? Not fun... You'd hate to see the side by side of the two tow hooks I think. Not symmetrical apparently my aim with a drill is terrible 😂

No pics, but progress!

Installed a steering bar riser since it was rubbing on my fender. Also finished buttoning up the radio install, new speakers showed up today too.

I also started to prepare to cycle front axle before I realized I need to set the length of the new track bar first at ride height. So, back on went the tires and springs
 
From what I've seen some people noticed a difference and others didn't. I have one that I'm not going to use but mine was for a 4 cyl and I don't know what the difference is between the two versions.
On mine my shaft was barely rubbing the bottom of the hole in the tub.
