He does, it was a Harbor Freight one. I have a couple of friends that have them too but I didn't want to bother anyone and I don't mind the work. Besides, Amy wasn't all that happy about me welding with my cast. I couldn't imagine what she would say if I told her I was going to go use a plasma cutter.
I got a little done today. First, I measured where the zerk fitting was on the MM cross member. Then I drilled and tapped mine in the same location. After that I deburred the hole, sanded the inside of the tube and installed the zerk fitting.
I then drilled the holes in the axle mounts. I used a set of leaf spring mounts that I bought for the Explorer when I did the solid axle swap and ended up not using.
