Remember Vince, yeti's had it for a while, the parts would have been welded on by the chemicals in his farts

Jeez and I thought mine looked bad when I finished tonight. That s got more bits missing than mine does.

What comes to mind is
CAN WE FIX IT ? YES WE CAN

Is that a winch mount on the front????

[surfenstein]

ok so a bit more has been done,once all the ifs has been cut off and removed you end up with this.





next a new front x member is fabbed up.



then fitted and welded in place,new towing eyes will be welded to this also.



then pop the axle in and check alignment,notice the new towing eyes.



bio this is gonna be one big mother.



axle located front and back checked for chassis alignment.





so far so good.
