Spent memorial day cutting off a new rear frame section from a donor Patrol and then cutting mine off. Will weld it on next weekend.

Here's a pic of how the rear slips onto the frame ends. The prior pic shows the replacement on the floor but I need to cut the frame ends out of it before installing.

Working many hours at my job so Patrol work has slowed. Pulled the firewall section off last weekend.

Pulled the engine and trans out yesterday. Everything looked ok except the throwout bearing. It is really tough to turn. Anyone know if or where you can get one? :?
