So I now have the rear end centered again.

Still need:
Plate to hold bolt forward
lower torque box reinforcements
brake stuff
rear end cover
drive shaft
wheels
gas tank
TEST DRIVE!

Then after all of that and the test drive comes out right I am going to get the tubing for the subframes and install the torque arm.

Lol, most of my spare time has actually went to a buddies 74 Ford Courier with the Chebby 400 in it. Then I also have a friends Jeep I have been chasing down hard start issues with. I STILL need to pull the trans out of the 98 to replace the throw out bearing and pilot bearing! lol

Mounted:
brake lines
diff cover
wheel cylinders

Made the plate needed for the control arm bolt and mounted it. Just need to weld it in place. Tomorrow I will mount brakes on their backing plates, fill the diff and maybe mount the gas tank back up.

can you run tailpipes with that panhard bar?

i know with the maximum motorsports one, unless you had flowmaster or stock exhaust, the tailpipes would interfere with the panhard bar...

Yes you can with a little tweaking. I haven't test fitted my polished stock tips yet but I will make them work lol. I didn't do all that polishing for nothing!

Mjr also has tail pipes on his 85 with his pan hard bar.

Finally! After a few days of hard work the car is in one piece and back on the road. I am also proud to say that as of right now there is NO noise from the gear install! WHAT a difference the gears made! I didn't really get into it bc it was dark and busy out but it felt great. I have a little light throttle carb tuning to do but it was nice to drive again.

Gears are so awesome. I remember when I installed mine, I couldn't believe what a difference it makes!!
