I really wanted to clean & paint the trans & t-case, but I couldn't make any worthwhile progress with a wire brush. They would have to be sandblasted, and I'm not prepared to do that right now. So I set them back into the chassis with virtually no changes. At some point, the t-case needs to come apart for the stay arm mod.

The poly tie rod boots are on, leaving only vulcanized rubber engine mounts (for now), exhaust hangers, tires, & some hoses. Most of the vacuum lines will be color-matched silicone.
