-cutting what used to be rockers out for some 2x6 that is incorperated into the unibody for cage mounting purposes.
-throwing it up on jackstand and going through axles...
-possible pulling the motor plating inner frame rails up front
-plate the outer front frame rails
-new trackbar mount on the frame with a brace to the other frame rail
-doing something for some rear shocks
-cleaning everything up
-notch
-then hopefully end of january tube work shall start
