Frame Repair on 92 4x4 , steering gear box mount

Heres what i did I didnt do no pics ,i would know how to transfer from
kodak easy share system to here any how ,

What i did was remove the steering gear box .

Then i welded up all the cracks plus added flat bar on top of frame and bottom and a small amount on side were it wont interfear with the mounting plate ,installed new bolts and nuts ,made shure to install small washers in the indentations of the frame then larger flat washers .

Then for an added brace I added a peice of 1/4" cabel with a eye loop at both ends then used a turn buckel ,with closed eyes , and attached that to an exsisting whole on the passenger side of the frame and tightend it up
makeing shure to keep the cabel from the pitman arm travel area .

So far so good ,need to re center steering wheel though
