Glad to hear that you got ahold of him, and you're going to love having a doubler

you and me both brother.
well, gotta little update. I worked on getting some things done to the truck. One of the things i needed to fix ASAP was the little bit of DW that it still had. Fixed that with a complete re-balance of the wheels. This time with weights instead of BB's.
also noticed a while back that my track bar mount had cracked the frame, so a buddy let me borrow his welder and i went to work. Made a couple of pieces that connect to the bracket and to the engine crossmember. MUCH stiffer now. Only problem is the pump isn't liking the extra work, so Hydro assist setup is next on the chopping block. I'll have it in before Rubicon.
Also replaced the A/C stuff. My hose that ran to the compressor had a hole in it, and the accumulator was shot, so I replaced both of those. Going to get a remanned compressor off ebay. They have them for like 70 bucks.
Picked up the fuel lines and the barbed fittings to extend the gas tank lines as well. Just waiting on the tank to get here first.
Took a couple pics of the truck and the "gussets"

Looks good man! Did you end up lowering the front and pushing it forward?

haven't yet. Looking to do that next month. Lowering it only requires me to turn down the preload on the springs. I'm hoping to have that done too, but would rather get the hydro steering and doubler setup done first.

well gents, I got some bad news last night. 
The guy who was going to lead the group on the Rubicon has gotten ill. Like badly ill. So needless to say, the trip has been cancelled.
I guess everything happens for a reason though. I might go with the Jeep guys up to the Dusy-Ershim trail, but we will see. Going to get the doubler done first, then see where we are at then

Hey how much does the DD Machine kit run, and what's it include? Stub shaft and plate?

New one piece stub shaft, plate, and hardware needed to join the plates. I don't remeber what the price is running, but it should be under 5 bills if memory serves me right.
Edit: Kage, you need to really pay attention to thread's better
