Got a bug up my butt today and decided to tackle the darn extension.

So I felt like a complete moron. Sitting there having a thinking smoke trying to figure out how to drill a 1/2" hole while only having a 3/8" drill. Looked to my right and realized I had a friggen drill press!!!! Lol. Haven't used it in years.
So drilled the 1/2" there, then grabbed my bench vise, put it on the ground. Because that's where they belong right!!! And started hogging the hole with a carbide burr. Wasn't going as fast as I wanted. So stopped, thought what the heck else could do this. Ah ha!!!! Friggin jigsaw!!! So found mine, and sure as $hit it actually had a metal blade in the handle storage thingy. Sweet.
So used that to get the majority of it cut out. Then the burr to finish it up and smooth it out.
Crawled up under, slid the bolt through and torqued to 185ft lbs. Nothing like being on your back and trying to do 25lbs more torque than you weigh. There were words and gas passed out both ends!!!! Lol
I also got the tranny spacer in, but didn't snap a picture. I will do that tomorrow when I go back under and install the shock. There will be a question asked.
And then the next fight will be trying to get a hole drilled through the side of the extensions to put the "locking bolts" in. I only have a pistol grip 3/8" drill, making it very tight to try and get a drill up under there. The day I was laid off a week ago, a had a 90⁰ drill signed out for the weekend. But had to give it back before I left.
Anyway.. . progress is progress.
