Well, X brace is in, but I mounted it flush to the top of the frame rails, and I think I am going to have an interference issue with the driveshaft. I meant to mount it low, but forgot. Will probably end up cutting it out and putting a new X brace in lower in the frame. Added doubler tabs on the trans member mounts. Changed to a straight tube for the trans and still have to add a mounting pad. Painted the ladder bars and axle housing. Cut the front cross braces out from the frame to the rocker bars, so that I can fit in bent tubes to clear the headers. Man, that C/M tubing is tough stuff. Went through 3 Dewalt SawZall blades before I broke out the grinder with a cutoff wheel. Right side header fits better than I could ever build. Left side fits like crap. Touching the frame rail, seriously pointed down. Not sure yet if I am going to modify it or just build my own left side header.
