I haven't updated in a while, but then again not much has developed lately worthy of photos. I managed to complete the jack pad rebuild however. Unlike the OEM jack pad which is not sealed tight to the body, I decided to make mine watertight. The OEM jack pad tends to fill with water and sand/debris, then rots from the inside out.
EDIT: added another photo showing the inside of my new jack pad. It's made from rectangular tubing with 14 gauge sheet welded to the outside to fit it to the floorpan. The jacking tube itself is round chromoly steel tubing I had laying around.
