I cant tell exactly, but if those are nylocks, I would concider using mechanical locking nuts instead or non locking. Also, Try and have at least a couple threads through the nut.

clayton damages and fixes.
1-dented shock-not bad enough to justify replacing-$0
2-antiwrap bar crossmember bent to sh*t-bought 2x1/4" box and 1/4" flat today for a new one-$100
3-broken brake line-brought it to HoseFast in Garland today, new banjo bolt-$20
4-broken stock arb line-bought a new braided stainless one from redrock4x4.com-$75
so i started on a new anti-wrap bar crossmember 1/4" angle and plate, and 2x2x1/4" box. Its not nearly done. . . I ran out of wire.

I hate that. The first time I ran out of wire on a Saturday night, I went out the following week and bought two boxes so I'd have a spare.
The disco ball in my mouth, insinuates I'm ballin'
but then do you go out and buy another roll when you are into the second or just wait until you run out? I never know how this is suppose to work. You feel good about it when you have the spare whatever. the crummy part is when you forgot where you put it. for the sake of time trying to find it you go buy another one anyways.
Back on subject,
arb line should be in friday
muffler should be in tomorrow
In order to fit all the necessary bracing for the new cross-member I cut off the cat and glasspack and I am going to replace them with this

Got more done on the x-member today, I'll finish it tomorrow.
Also got the exhaust done and its alot louder than I thought it was going to be. I got rid of the cat and installed a dynomax bullet muffler in place of the glasspack. The reason for all this was that the cat was in the way of the beefed up x-member and the glasspack squeezed under the spring was a bad idea, it got the sh*t beat out of it in clayton.
So pics.
thats a HUGE crossmember just for an anti-wrap bar.
this is what i did, its not going anywhere
did you see what happened to my old one? I want to ensure that never happens again. One good wack to yours from a rock and it'll end up looking like my old one.
Yours was down below the frame rails, even with the skid plate. Even with your new design, you might want to look into tying a skid between it and your tcase crossmember. It'd make it a bit more rigid and the rocks would be less likely to catch it when you're making forward progress.
Coops is up high, tucked directly behind the tcase (I guess that could be a benefit to the unclocked case). It'll take some work to get a rock up in there.
