I haven't finished welding mine on yet. I agree seems well made and solves the Vband issue without having to use boots. I had a Vband on both ends originally but was afraid the welds would break with no place to give.

I am debating on throwing the 1 inch block in and then lowering the front the needed amount. So it's sitting in this weeds

I had some fun this weekend. Buttoned up the fuel system. Also Managed to break an Aeroquip -10 90* fitting. My last one to btw.
.
So I had to replace it and another fitting with spare summit fittings. To get replaced shortly. Just need to order then.
Finished up the battery cables and shut off. It works perfect. Finished Trans cooler lines and filled associated things with fluid. Priming the waterman was a huge pain. But it fired for the first time tonight. Didn't do the break it but it ran for 20 second before I killed it. Extremely happy. Oil pressure pinned the 100Psi gauge. Will finish with the drive shafts Monday and start on the cage next week.

Hope people actually look at this and I am not wasting my time.
Had the drive shafts built. Front is 10.6 pounds. Rear didn't get measured. But rear is in. Front needs a different yoke on the axle.
Gutted the interior. Remeoved everything from column ect. The floor is actually all black now. This was middle of the process.
Didn't get a chance to bend the cage. Will start that soon for the radiator located and made part of the mounting. 3rd gen hoses worked perfect for the radiate but no pictures.

Did you take all the crap off of the floor or just paint over it?
Hey, you should figure out how to cable shift your tcase. Mostly because I want to do it to mine but don't want to do the R&D to figure it out LOL

I could have and started to but I have one month before the track opens and that can happen anytime. I painted over it for now.
As for the tcase I don't see a cable as being beneficial really? I am having to figure out my linkage though. The 47 rh to re swap and the 241 dld to 241 dhd are kinda a pain for that shifter. I have no clue of the pattern is right and know I will have to make a rod of some sort.

I was only semi serious.
Mine is rusted nearly solid.
Although, if I wanted to do a burnout prior to staging it would be a lot easier using a cable shifter due to the harness.

I was thinking something along those lines but stronger then all thread that is drilled and tapped for rod ends. Shouldn't be to awful.

Thought about leaving the harness loose for burn out and after burn out you pull your harness tight? Or 4wd burnouts? I know where my seat will be should be plenty close for the shifter.
