I've been delayed on the project for a couple days: the dog dug out under the chain link and it ended up in a very ugly fight with 2 of the neighbor's dogs.. Mine is a 5yo Husky male, the neighbor's are an adult male Doberman & a female Boxer. Luckily, the neighbor's and I have always worked out things in the past, and none of the 3 needed to be hospitalized.. But, the bottom fence line now has a pallet of concrete blocks to prevent another incident
The D-side shock bucket is finally cleaned up & ready to weld. I had to grind down the bottom section & drill out the rear UCA hole to 3/4" in order to align with the factory hole. Because Raptor. The shank length isn't correct. Because KHC. But, my local off-road hardware shop
will have the correct length on the shelf tomorrow, so I can proceed for now.
