Clayton damage was minimal. Luckily the trashed trans pan and filter seem to be all that was affected. I put the Mustang pan on for now so that I could verify that the trans was still in good working order. It does not whine anymore, and goes into gear just fine. I need to take it to Rusty's to get him to patch the exhaust back together.
I got the pass. door pulled and new junkyard hinges put on. I will need to get Greg to cut out a new piece for the tubes to weld to and it should be good.
I got the damaged roller fairlead off and using F150s winch, pulled the fairlead mount back straight. The cable is damaged in several spots after probably less than 6 pulls on it. I think I am going to order some rope and an aluminum hawse fairlead for it.
As for the steering, it never failed, just had several leaks. I purple powered everything and will find the leak once I can drive it.

Got the correct trans pan ordered
Rusty patched the exhaust back together
Copied Cook and used a JD bottle for steering resevoir overflow
Still need to track down small hydro leak
DD got some new bands in its transmission.
All in all, ready for next run

More turd polishing. Bolted down a UWS 'footlocker' to hold tools/fluids/spare parts etc.

Decided to ditch the rear seat for the majority of the runs I go on. It will still slide in for the yearly Shiloh trip where skankcarrying capacity is of higher importance than a spare tire. I plan on mounted the Hi-Lift to some wheel studs that can weld to the floorpan right there by the toolbox. Should be easy access. A bumper is in order. It will include another XP9500, some LEDs, and some d-ring mounts. Will also run back up towards the rear tires.
New stock tranny pan is back on.
Other than that, everything is working great. The steering will always be an issue because of the low mounting tie rod. I will either need to find a balljoint high steer knuckle, or just find a KP axle and swap everything over.
The t-case and driveshafts will be the next weak point. Thinking Atlas and some properly built shafts one day. Very happy with it right now.

why not just add a 4to1 klune?

Do your driveshafts before you gear down any more. Save yourself the trouble of repairing them when the added torque stresses them out.
x2 on the klune
My bitch better have my money...
Through rain, sleet, or snow...
My whore better have my money...
Not half, not some, but all my cash...
'Cause if she don't,
I'm gonna put my foot in her ass.
but if he wants the klune he will have to do shafts at the same time. get out the check book and play with the cool kids. there are already 2 klunes in the club, lets make it a third
Red 81 CJ5, 35's, 4.10 and detroit, 4 to 1 dana 300, tbi efi, flat belly, cage, chromos and auzzie in front... sometimes runs. body damage to come
go with the northwest fab black box
y when you can get the klune in 4 to 1 and you dont have to use adaptors for fords???

the black box looks way better engineered than the klune.
Riiigghhhtttttt....
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
thats along the lines of saying a happytime looks better engineered then a LS motor. You sir are dumb
