Yup, I actually asked the seller for info on what he did. Tailgate is
only sitting on pins, no hinges. Welded door seams wil be interesteing
to see if it will hold w/o craking paint. He said he opened the front
diff and just TIG-welded the VC. Says he does not mind all scrubbing
created by a permanently engaged front diff. Yikes. Interesting
anyway.
